What about rape???



First off, that's not even an issue here. There was nothing in that article that leads to any assumption that she was raped. This is a case of a mother putting her own physical appearance (not well-being, mind you) above the life of both of her children, though one did survive.

Secondly, on a personal stance, I'm not 100% decided on the rape victim stance. But I do side with her right to abort because she did not have a choice on the conception. But, then again, a rape vitcim won't wait until near the end of the third trimester, after the baby is fully formed and developed, to have an abortion either. That's a decision made very close to conception.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
