A thirteen year old who has been impregnated by her rapist with something that is both repugnant and freightening to her.

I just noticed something. Are you suggesting that the unborn baby is repugnant and scary to the girl? Or just the pregnancy? If it's the first, you'll have to back that one up. Another emotional argument. You're hitting 100 here today.

Yes, and this is a common, thou not universal response. I saw it in my aunt many years ago. I am fascinated by your capacity to determine the depths and nature of the emotional responses of raped teenagers. I am also fascinated by the accusation of emotional sensationalism after all those pictures of aborted fetuses I have seen paraded around in front of clinics. At any rate, it begs the question. If I find having a baby repugnant, whatever the reason, I ought to have the right to undo that pregnancy--its a matter of common decency, in my humble opinion. It is not up to someone else to judge the nature of my feelings in that regard. Having a baby is a serious act with serious repercussions on the part of a woman--she and her rights, and the depth and nature of her feelings, were not rendered into used toilet paper that other people can intrusively paw over, by becoming pregnant.
