She has been violated and invaded and must
have the option of "choosing abortion"...
Because, you see, she has been a victim of violence
And did not want to be pregnant.
The baby has been violated and invaded and must
have the option of life...
Because, you see, he has been a victim of violence
And did not want to be aborted.
Pro-death advocates support the choice of abortion in cases of rape because women have been violently victimized...but then, they advocate for the same violent victimization to be inflicted on another person, the unborn person. Even though over 99% of abortions are not related to rape, this is still an angle pro-death advocates use when arguing for the right to abortion, and what they are really arguing for is the perpetuation of violence.
A woman is only further distressed by choosing to end the life of her child, committing a worse crime than the one that was committed against her. She is invaded yet again when the abortionist enters her body to tear her small child away and to leave her feeling empty of her child's life--the one she was supposed to nurture and protect. Her response to man's failure to protect woman is to deny her own maternal protection of her child.
This is not a "just choice" to give a woman who has already been violated by rape. This is a license so that she ends up being doubly invaded and doubly grieved. If a woman cannot look at her child with love, then there are those who will because that child, as all, is worthy and lovable. Allowing that child to live will help the mother heal, rather than perpetuating the violence she incurred with new violence. Promoting abortion in this way guides the woman who is victim into the role of the perpetrator. Rape victims deserve better than to experience what it is like to be in the rapist's or murderer's shoes.
