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?

Why should the results of an act of violence make necessary another
act of violence?

Abortion is an act of violence.

The relative consequences are not up to society to decide. It's up to the
victim, who may not want to lie to her kid at some point in the future.
