Legalize abortion for rape victims?

2 comments
I just read somewhere about some place thinking about legalizing abortion for rape victims. Apparently in some places, no matter what, abortion is a no-no, and people in that particular society will do all sorts to stop you from getting one.

I mean, COME ON la. Lets say a 12 yr old girl, pregnant from rape, wants to get an abortion. Hello? You'd rather have her have the baby? Now personally i'm against abortion, but i think there are some cases where it is beneficial to have the abortion. Especially for those really exceptionally young ones. Not that i'm saying you should allow it only for the young ones. If i were in their shoes, i'd probably kill myself before having that piece-of-shit-that-raped-me's baby. I don't know la. Can you be against abortion but not against abortion for rape victims? Is that hypocritical?

But i suppose this might be an issue with some people who would fake a rape report or something just to get an abortion. I mean, who really knows? Unless you have a camera or witnesses, or if it was instant and you get the DNA off the girl, you can't really prove it. Lets say if she was raped, didn't report it straightaway, went home and cleaned herself off, burned her clothes and decide to report maybe a week or month later, then how do you really prove that it was so or not just someone who got knocked up by her boyfriend who doesn't want a baby? You can't, can you?

But back to the rape victim, i just think it's unfair to demand that the victim keep the stupid-piece-of-shit's baby. The poor thing's already going to be haunted by it for life, she shouldn't have to be further burdened with a BABY!!!

  1. well, besides the humanitarian site, it is of risk to the poo girl too coz her body's not ready yet. So u do have a point here. But think about it, if it was leaglised, the it could be misused.

  2. animals and humans hit puberty when they are NOTE: physically ready to procreate.

    they might not be psychologically or mentally or a host of other factors like financially etcetc..

    however, a rape victim could possibly give her baby away to somebody else who wants it. There definitely are people who would take care of a baby.

    RU-486 is being legalised in some countries.
    Many people like to think pro-choice is the way to go. Its MY body and i can do whatever i want with it.

    Consider this point,
    Guy gets girl pregnant, decides he doesn't want the baby and ops out, maybe tells girl to get abortion etc. He's an irresponsible, deadbeat dad - or maybe wun be dad.

    Girl gets pregnant, decides she doesnt want the baby, gets an abortion. She's PRO-CHOICE!

    Also consider the fact that many women who din abort in the end, have been the proud mums of sons n daughters n are glad that they din even tho circumstances were tough.

    We're too individualistic in thinking. Humans are such inherently selfish creatures.
    Have we considered the fact that if abortion was legalised everywhere, we could possibly not be here because of CONVENIENCE! hooray! How does that feel? Oddly we just dun seem to like thinking that way.
