re: Abortion D&D

Quoting pilot Jess:" Things like not allowing an abortion of a pregnancy that originated from rape would lead to things like ... [snip!] ... would almost certainly cause death of the fetus. So there is a good chance she might die because it's illegal to treat her."

There are a lot of controversial situations in most Latin American countries. I think earlier this year, in Argentina a little girl (I think 14 y/o) was raped and she didn't want to be pregnant.
To make things short, the mother supported her and they took it to court to see if they gave permission to the poor girl to abort. It's smurfed up.

I used to be pro-life but I got to the conclusion that it's not fair for the woman to force her to carry a fetus for nine months...

But don't you know, fetus' are TOTALLY more important than living, breathing, independently viable human beings.

Let alone that.
I mean, I can only imagine how life for that child would be like.
Living with parents whom resent you can't be pretty.

I say smurf her.

Quoting Snotface♫[usmc]:" I just had a friend of mine tell me "rape victims shouldn't be allowed to abort." Yes, no? Why or why not?"

*sigh*

I used to consider myself Pro-Life, and now still currently disagree with abortion majority of the times.

It has always been difficult for me to answer this question.
I can and may never (hopefully) come even close to receiving the best, clearest impact that rape can have and the immense harm that comes with rape on a woman's psychological, emotional, and perhaps even physical state. I could probably never be able to fully comprehend the scars that come with such a dark, brutal experience in a woman's past. I can say that I have been deeply hurt by people before, and was left with wounds as I'd like to describe the aftermath(s) of the offenses which I carry to this day. But I can easily (sometimes   ) see my pain not even be comparable to that of a rape victim.

Although I do believe that it's at the same time tragic when the unborn child resulting from such an incident is, in perhaps a confusing, strange but apparent way, is somewhat stigmatized by his or her father's atrocious acts, to have this child's arrival hardly be seen as positive or joyous, let alone as something to be permitted by the mother and those around her more often than not.
The thing is, my heart breaks for both sides in this type of situation; the mother for enduring such a brutal offense, and the infant whose presence even in the womb is trampled. Because of something they both had no control over.

I can't say a child shouldn't be allowed to be born because of something monstrous her father has done, and I can not call a rape victim pregnant from her assault who chooses abortion as her option a "monster" or "selfish".

So I could never really answer that, ya know?  

Well, to bring my post to an end, I'll say this;
I'd very much like it if the unborn baby's life was given a chance, but could never blame its mother for her choice(s).
That's all I really can say for now...

I say obviously she has never been raped.

<blockquote><b>Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:</b>" I say obviously she has never been raped."</blockquote>




I've known rape survivors and rape survivors who conceived from the assault who feel the same.

People from all experiences figure if they could get through it, everyone can.

Quoting Máthair Gruaig Gorm:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Mrs. Dexter Morgan:</b>" I say obviously she has never been ... [snip!] ... conceived from the assault who feel the same. People from all experiences figure if they could get through it, everyone can."

I, personally, have never and can't imagine, though I suppose you are correct.

Your friend has the right to choose what SHE will do if she is raped and gets pregnant.

She has no right to dictate to other women.

I think abortion is sad and horrible and disturbing...it hurts me to think about it/ hear about it and I would never have one....I might change my mind if its ectopic.. but I've never been in that situation so I can't say for sure ...rape..no I would still have the baby....That being said I don't believe abortions should be illegal....maybe a bit harder to get one ( I.e....if you wanted a girl and its a boy)....Abortions will continue to happen....legally and more safely by professionals....or illegally in some messed up environment/ practice.

I think you should be able to abort for whatever reason, however many times.

Quoting bb&b:" I think you should be able to abort for whatever reason, however many times. "

This.

Quoting Amanda Contento:" Because I had a different view and think every child should have a chance. Just be glad your mother decided to keep you."

what about ectopic pregnancies? Do those feotuses deserve a chance?
