Mama's baby, Rapist's maybe?
I saw a picture on facebook today, that really made me think. It talked
about the Republican vote against abortion for rape and incest
victims. Now I understand that those who are pro-choice, myself
included, are essentially in favor of preventing a life from being
born. But what about the life that is already here, now. Do we ignore
how it affects them? Are the rights of the unborn, not quite human,
indecipherable from a chicken, cluster of cells more important than the
woman who is carrying it? Rape is already a vicious and heinous crime,
with memories that haunt victims for a lifetime. But, to prohibit
abortion, means not only do those memories haunt them, but now there is a
physical, constant reminder of the day where a choice was taken from
them.
