What do you think should happen if:

- A 16 year old girl is raped and becomes pregnant
- Her parents are fully aware of the rape
- Her parents are dead set against her having an abortion


How many abortions are performed due to rape versus the number
performed following consenting sexual relations that results in an
inconvenient pregnancy?

I don't know. Why is a statistic important to a girl who doesn't want
to carry a baby that was conceived in an act of violence?


I think it is a very important statistic because the most common
argument for across the board abortion rights is examples of rape or
violence. I don't know, but I suspect there are many more abortions
performed simply because a pregnancy is currently "inconvenient" than
those performed because of a rape.

Never vote based only on things you suspect.

If your daughter was raped and you started talking to her about
statistics, I wonder how she'd react.


See? The rape thing again.

It's important because there are cults which think they can dictate the
options available to a rape victim. You can't exclude inconvenient facts
from the discussion, unless you'd like to say it's over for now.
