Well, if you keep on with the news, they're trying to pass this anti-abortion law in South Dakota.  It will be illegal to get an abortion in that state, unless the woman in question is going to die as a result.  Only if you're going to DIE.  They make no other exceptions.  Not for rape, or incest, or other health complications.  Nothing at all.  I've read some articles...(I'll post a URL later)  They say, if a woman was raped, the rapist would have just as much control over the child as the woman would.  I'm sorry, but something is just seriously wrong with this.  If something like that happened to me, I would want to stay as far away from that person as possible.  The idea that a man who raped someone who could be a part of the victim's life is just scary.

Or, what if this person had a life to live?  What if they were in college, or an athlete...  What id they were a victim of rape or incest? Having a child doesn't just HAPPEN, you have to go through pregnancy for 9 months.  Heck, they might have to just drop everything.  Ruin their entire life plan.  Because women won't be able to have control of their own bodies anymore, not with these kinds of laws.  Or what if someone had a tricky health condition, that wouldn't exactly kill them, but make their life so much harder to get through if they were to become pregnant?  It shows no sympathy for the victims.  It's like they don't care if someone's a victim, they have to deal with the consequences NO MATTER WHAT.  I think it's scary that we wouldn't have a choice.  It's like women are slowly losing their voices, and their rights....

Now, don't get me wrong.... I don't think that abortion is right, especially in late-term abortions.  It should only be done in very, very paticular situations.  But, still in a woman's body, it's not a person yet.  Yes, it is human. But there's a difference between being human and being a person.  However, it's a potential person and should be treated with respect. The fetus would be unable to live outside of the woman's body- it is not yet an independant lifeform.  But when two beings occupy the same space, one should have control over another....  I don't know; I don't think I'm wording this very well.  I'm sure there's lots of loopholes in my explanation... Maybe I'll try to clarify what I mean, sometime... 

I mean, not all victims of those types of crimes need to get an abortion.  I think it's wonderful if a person is willing to have a child... To have something good come from something like that.  But I just think that a world without that choice would be a scary place to live in....
