Subject: No one says they have to raise the child..

A child conceived by rape can be given up for adoption at birth. There are people waiting to adopt babies (I know several).
Only a very small percentage of abortions are because of rape. It is used as a way to argue.
I agree completely with Terry's post.
I do not agree with abortion. I think that people have a choice to not get pregnant if they cannot follow it through. Other than rape- the choice was made.
BUT I also think that the Republicans have NO intention of making other forms of birth control widely available and easy to get to prevent abortions. I do not believe they have any reason to fight against abortion at all as their "pro-life" stance (even though it does not apply to war or the death penalty) provides them with votes.
I watched the 9/11 video yesterday and I was struck by how we all came together after the tragedy, and now we are so divided again. Meanwhile the parties are so busy fighting each other and namecalling that they cannot be bothered with what is best for the country.

I would like to adopt, myself. -- HF, 12:47:47 09/12/08 Fri [1]
But does that mean that I want a woman to endure nine months of what is equivalent to torture in my estimation, simply because I would like a baby? No.
Still, this is not my primary motivation for my pro-choice viewpoint. I was only responding to the post about rape and incest.

Well adoption is fine. But I still believe that a girl or woman -- LAwoman, 19:56:51 09/12/08 Fri [1]
has the right to self-determination including being able to decide who enters or exits her vijayjay. Of course in the case of rape one of those decisions is taken away. I'm lucky enough that if I found out I was pregnant by some act of violence, drugging or just failed birth control, I have the means to avoid being forced to give birth against my will. My concern is for those who don't have the means. I would prefer that morning after pills were more readily available, but all options for girls and women should be available and legal.

Re:this is why I think the morning after pill -- niki, 16:08:18 09/14/08 Sun [1]
should be freely available and easy to get.
Yet have you noticed that the politial groups who are anti-abortion are also usually anti-abortion-prevention?
If birth control, the morning after pill, and sex education were everywhere perhaps the majority of abortions could be prevented.

actually, if people did their homework, the morning after pill isn't an abortive pill -- ozzie, 13:20:07 09/15/08 Mon [1]
it PREVENTS a pregnancy from happening at all. i just finished a continuing education on it and it alters the endometrium so egg implantation cannot occur. so, imo, if they say they are against abortion, they can't lump the morning after pill in along with it. i know that is such a touchy topic and personally, i could never go through with it but i admire that MOST women are intelligent and make /made a well thought out decision and CHOICE to go through with it. i would think it would be a tremendously difficult decision to make. you could argue this that and the other for days on end but i wouldn't want someone else telling me what i could and could not do to my body and the impact it would have on my OWN life.

I couldn't agree more, Niki... -- JennyJenkins, 20:39:17 09/14/08 Sun [1]
I'm upset that "pro-choice" is always misinterpreted, as if on purpose.
