I wonder....

I wonder how many of the Right-to-Life folks who are so vehement that women not have abortions who have been raped or are the victims of incest, have thought about the trauma they are inflicting on those women by forcing them to carry the seed of the bastard who forced himself on them for nine months knowing that they are sharing in creating something they had absolutely no say in.  That's inflicting additional trauma on the victim- how dare those who have never had to deal with this type of trauma, decide whether someone who has, should have to carry to full term the child of their assailant.

You hear these people talk about those childless couples who would love to adopt these children of these victims.  I believe there are plenty of children waiting to be adopted in this world already.  The problem is that these so-called 'childless couples' want newborns - they are not willing to adopt older children.  They don't want to adopt someone else's problem.  How shallow is that?  Either you want a child or you don't.  If you are given the opportunity to adopt you take it.  You are not given a guarantee when you get pregnant that your child will be healthy or without problems, so why should it matter?  

You, who have not gone through the  trauma, do not get a say in whether those that have are to keep their baby full-term or are allowed to abort it and move on with their life and heal from their trauma.  That is their personal choice and should remain so.

No woman should have to die in a back alley ever again because of someone's religious beliefs.  This is where the true separation of church and state must exist.  What must prevail is the understanding and thought process that takes into account what is right and just for all people not just those of your own religious beliefs.  You may have your beliefs, but you may not inflict your beliefs on me.
