Well i myself am a woman who believes in having a choice. As my screen name dictates i have my own voice and don't require ANYBODY to tell me that I HAVE TO have a baby. I have never had an abortion but i do believe that the choice is mine to make. I believe women should have the right to choose what is done with their bodies. Its like people telling me i can not have a tattoo or i can't have my ears pierced because they said so. If a woman or young girl has been raped i do not think that she should have to go through the birth process and suffer the pain of child birth. Girls getting raped by their fathers and brothers and uncles are having babies everyday and they have to live with a mistake, that was not their choice AT ALL. A woman would end up traumatized. Take for example countries that have anti-abortion laws and the amount of children born of rape, incest or child trafficking. there was an instance where a young girl was rescued from "pimps" that were selling her for drugs. When they took her in to get checked out of course she had been violated and was unfortunately pregnant. She was forced to have this baby at the tender age of 12 and for what? To uphold a belief that our Christian God says we shouldn't do that when what was done to her had nothing to do with her belief in God. She was raped and tortured but she was responsible enough to where she didn't just give the baby up for adoption she took care of her (it was a girl) and you know what she doesn't regret it. I would to be completely honest. Call me heartless or a b**** but i couldn't do that. As a victim of rape myself i do not want to be reminded of what was done to me ans i think i speak for most women who have been in my position that had we become pregnant from this repulsive act we would feel guilty. I felt guilty about being raped for years but not anymore i know it wasn't my fault but i still have problems having intercourse with my husband because i remember that night every night and all i can do is pray and hope that no woman would ever have to go through that. now to go through a rape and then have to go through child birth is overwhelming. I would look into that child's eye and i may or may not hate it but i know that i will never be able to tell them about their "father" and how he came to be. "Yea your father raped me and thats how you came along", just doesn't seem to fit into dinner conversation but throughout all my rambling God gave all of his children a choice, which is why we're not angels. He gave us a choice so why should anyone take that freedom from us?
