i had a friend who was raped and had her rape baby. she is now agoraphobic and will not leave her yard(that is if she has a good day and can open her door), and also has sever undefinable panic attacks whenever she is near a male or child under the age of 5-6 ish

It's so sad that only people who have experienced this first-hand can seem to understand me here. You shouldn't have to be raped or have someone close to you raped before understanding how serious it is. :C

I thank you for your story, it is deeply tragic (and thank you for the cookie~ nomnom indeed). <3333

Thanks for the disclaimer. x3 <3

Anyway, I think even in those cases (I think we've agreed to disagree here), there should be some regulation of it. Abortion on demand doesn't have to be legal for EVERYONE. Making it available to just those who have been raped would certainly be a lot better than the way people are using it now. :/ Even a tiny application process, even if you don't check into it heavily, would be better than letting people abuse it as a form of birth control.

Anyway. xD We've opened this can of worms before. I don't care to get into a heated debate, so I'll leave it there. :)

No, I fully agree with you here. I don't agree with abusing legal abortion as birth control in the slightest. It's irresponsible and wrong, and I don't want women to kill their own unborn children any more than you.

But these people had no sympathy for victims of rape and incest, and so I felt the need to fight for their right to choose. In cases this extreme, the choice is necessary imo. And who knows? Many rape victims choose to actually keep the baby. But for those who cannot handle it, I feel it wrong to force it on them.

But yes, I agree that regulations should be made. While rape should not be taken lightly, neither should abortion. It is not something that people should abuse. <3
