Abortion is an issue that needs to be addressed, but not in a way that makes the woman essentially the “villain” in the situation. Yes, killing an unborn child is not something to boast about like some do but if the circumstance is not looked into an unnecessary amount of guilt is pushed on to a woman, one does not know.
Women are giving the gift of reproductive organs and have the ability to give birth but this ability should not be used unless consented by said woman; what I mean is if this woman is to be raped. This not only brings the guilt of a choice to rid of the child but the burden of memories that can cause further damage to both the woman and the child (if the child is born). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a real issue to women who have been in these situations and having a constant reminder of what occurred along with the memories makes these women slave to their pasts and to the responsibilities that is not willingly given.
We do not know what a woman and her family are going through when something like rape occurs,/ unless we are there to experience it along side them, so I am going to put it into perspective.
Imagine you are a mother or father to a daughter, she is 17 years old and you are extremely proud of her. She has her future set, is accepted to an ivy league college, has her license and a car; she is a phenomenal driver by the way, one of her many accomplishments. She is captain of the volleyball team; everything is going perfectly. You are more proud of her than you have ever been and did not believe anything could get in her way. Then one night she comes home balling her eyes out and hugging you. You ask what is wrong, and she answers…”I was raped”. You feel this empty feeling inside you, and so you squeeze your baby girl promising never to let anything harm her and you will take care of it. She is pregnant now. College is starting soon, and graduation is just around the corner. “I am not ready to be a mother, I did not plan this”, she cries. As a parent you have to analyze what is the best option for your child; are you going to make her put her life on hold her something that was out of their control or is you going to help them have a future and be a mother when it is the right time?
I know I will not change minds on the issue because it is strongly detested, but I believe women should not be a slave to their pasts and have to face consequences for something that is ultimately their choice. I am not pro-abortion, but I do respect the decisions of the women whose reasoning is pure.
