Just responding to several posts that seem to be running ahead of known facts...wasn't trying to criticize any-one personally. I'm sure a serum HCG will be run in Germany if she was raped, and it will be up to Jessica with family support to deal with the after-math if it is positive. I could just see the political can of worms being opened up in this country should Jessica find her-self pregnant My apologies, I didn't mean to snap but I'm finding myself in a position where I have to defend sharing my thoughts on a discussion board, lest be labeled shameful and behaving badly.
I pray that she doesn't have to ever think about the decisions discussed here. i pray that she wasn't raped. I also hope that in the awful event she was that it isn't made public (or her state of pregnancy for that matter). The discussion is hypothetical (which apparently isn't welcome here).
Again...My apologies for snapping.

Jen, with all due Respect, you missed entirely my point.
You are free, if you like to scream from the roof tops your ideals regarding abortion, that's fine.
What I'm saying is that this topic WAS *NOT* AN ABORTION TOPIC, WAS IT?
We were discussing the Cruel, inhuman torture of Jessica Lynch.
Yes, she Might have been Raped, WE DON'T KNOW. Lurid speculation whether she was or not is entirely inappropriate. Then dragging that ridiculous line of speculation even lower by slamming your Ideology about Abortion into the Mix was at best RUDE, and at worst Shameful.
If you want to start up another Abortion Thread, feel free, there's already a myriad of them here. You can talk about Abortion in those threads until your fingers are raw from typing for all I care.
But why do you feel the need to bring it here, when the topic had nothing to do with Abortion?
There's nothing PC about telling you to take your Abortion Conversations into a thread that has something to do with Abortion.
I'm Truly sorry if this sounds Harsh Jen, It really isn't meant that way. I'm just really blown away by the behavior of people here sometimes, and this was one Thread that not only made me angry, but really made me embarrassed at the very idea of Jessica's Parents MAYBE logging into FR to be greeted by this stuff.
Frankly, whether she's pregnant or not after her ordeal is None of Our Business! Period! I for one won't be a party to Torturing this young lady any further by speculating on it, or prying into it.
