Question Hi Deborah. My question is how do you feel about laws that would criminalize abortion even in cases of rape? I personally am pro-choice and believe that a woman should have the right to choose regardless of the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy, but the idea of forcing a woman to endure a pregnancy that resulted from such a tramatic, violent and dehumanizing crime seems especially cruel. I can not even begin to fathom what it would be like to be in that situation. Some people get upset when I say this, but to me it would feel like being raped all over again. Once again my feelings, my needs and my rights are being ignored. Also, I can't imagine how emotionally and psychologically damaging this would be for the woman, not to mention the child! To your knowledge, have there ever been any studies done on this? Thank you.
Maggie
Answer Dear Maggie,
I feel exactly the same way you do. In fact, I could have written that paragraph word for word!
I have not read any studies done specifically on rape victims being forced through pregnancy against their will. However, there is no doubt that it would be unimaginably damaging, emotionally as well as physically. The thought just absolutely horrifies me and disgusts me. We must make sure it never comes to that.
