Quote:Even within those exceptions the child is being treated as a life to be considered in the calculus of law and morality.

Have you ever been raped or sexually molested by a family member? If not then you can't possibly understand the deep psychological damage that does to a person. Damage that can lessen over time but never goes away. Now, tell a girl that the most traumatic thing she's ever had happen to her must continue, must be lived daily, adding to the already horrific circumstances because she MUST HAVE THAT BABY BECAUSE YOU DON'T APPROVE OF ABORTION NO MATTER WHAT. Yeah, because she hasn't suffered enough. 

 

Thankfully there are women who had horrific things happen to them, think Jaycee Duggard, and they were able to get past it all and love their child(ren) born of those circumstances and I applaud them, but not everyone is capable of that.
