Of course it matters. She may need therapy.

But if what you mean by “matters” is that she should be permitted to murder her baby, then what she thinks does not matter. It is a crime. It is evil. It is unjust to the baby.

No, it matters as such.

Her decision as to whether or not to bear the child and either raise it or adopt it or abort it is what is going to determine the outcome.

That’s why it matters. In fact it’s the only thing that matters.

What doesn’t matter is your opinion of her decision.

Now if you wanted to actually have a practical effect on the outcome, you may want to advise her and convince her that bearing the child and either raising it or adopting it is the right thing to do.

But attempting to force her to do what you want is folly for any number of reasons.

Reason 1, you won’t have a lot of support for that, certainly not a majority.

Reason 2, you would first need a vehicle to advance your agenda, and the GOP is incapable of selling or advancing anything. Evidence Todd Akin.

Reason 3, even if you did muster majority support, a federal judge would toss it.

Reason 4, suppose you did get it passed into law, and a judge didn’t toss it, how exactly would you enforce it?

Would you incarcerate the raped mother for the length of the pregnancy to ensure that she didn’t abort it herself?

I really do not think you have thought through the implications of what you are proposing.

So, if you want to save those innocent lives, I suggest you get to selling the mothers on your position as effectively as you can, because their decision is the only thing that matters.
