Have you ever given birth?

SO you can't imagine how hard it is to risk your life for a child you want.

Now try to imagine the trauma of risking your life to give birth to a child that a rapist put in side your body.

By all means force rape victims to give birth.

Because that won't destroy her or anything.

I'm not sure why this hurdle is so difficult to get over.

Seem to me that those that want to disallow abortions after a certain week mark that reasonably argue that women can obviously make the decision prior to that point could put in an exception for if the person is a minor victim of rape that perhaps was afraid to tell.

I mean. For an adult who has been raped, they obviously know in plenty of time to get the abortion. I'll bet the number of adult rape victims who wanted an abortion but failed to get one under 20 weeks because they were simply unable in any given year probably wouldn't use up all the fingers on my right hand.
