Reasons for Abortion

[Rau]

Thanks, yes if families are strong it would be more likely that they may ask for help rather than go to a doctor first.
I read a write up on facebook this morning about rights and wrongs of abortion, and someone commented that there are many abortions in the USA (not pointing at the us it was just that the poster was from there) because of incest.

I’m not sure about the woman has a right or no right over her body concerning a baby. If she is raped, obviously she did not consent to sex, and did not consent to a baby. Must she be forced almost against her will to keep the child? I’m not clear on the morning after pill, it’s function, I believe it stops fertilisation, but only after the sperm has penetrated the egg? I’m thinking of the very early stage, not as far as weeks. I do think that in some cases it’s a hard decision for certain people (child rape), I know the baby could be placed in care etc, but what about the womans “right”.
How do we understand that while a rape is wrong, the possibilty of conception is high, but the woman should not seek the morning after pill and should carry a baby as the out come of a crime?

Please I do not intend to offend anyone, I’m just trying to get my head around this world and why so many problems drag us down…

The woman’s rights were violated by the rape. The woman and the baby are both victims. But such circumstances are but a tiny proportion of abortion cases.

Yes, I have recently seen some statistics and the main reason’s for abortion are due to a child getting in the way of a career, financial problems, immaturity etc.

So if the womens rights are violated, does she not then have a right to decided to keep the child? I know it is not the childs fault it was brought into existence by violence, but seeking the morning after pill to avoid pregnacy if available, would seem less like murder, than waiting until the development of the child had begun.

Maybe it’s a matter of personal opinion, where there is availability for access to this kind of medical treatment in cases of rape.

When it comes to sex selective abortion, or not facing up to your own actions as reasons for abortion…I can’t understand that.

A rape victim may seek intervention to prevent conception - to do so is to resist the assault.

If conception has occurred, there is no right to murder the child.
