Nowhere does this “Wise Latina” (implying that there are many unwise Latinas) ever discuss the question of “when does life begin?”
The most frequent argument is about women impregnated by rape.
This is such an easy one to debunk....first, pregnancy by rape is miniscule. Second, there is Plan B available over the counter. But even then, that unfortunate raped woman has 6 weeks to take action before any restrictions set in.
With crisis centers and hospitals fully organized to support women who have been raped, there is no excuse for a raped woman to wait more than 6 weeks to terminate the product of a crime.
Why should the innocent party in a rape pay the death penalty? And the psychological damage to a woman from killing an innocent life only adds to the trauma of the rape. Abortion is not the easy answer to the vanishingly rare number of pregnancies that occur due to rape.
