[QUOTE="Jade Margery, post: 67284790, member: 234149"] One of the many reasons rape is traumatizing is because the rapist steals a person's control over their own body. Seems to me, the best way to heal that would be to give that person their control back - letting them decide what to do about the resulting pregnancy. Of course I would make sure my daughter had as much information as possible about the procedure and the risks involved, both in abortion and in bringing the pregnancy to term, but I would try not to encourage one or the other. I would then support completely whichever choice SHE made. It might be a little harder to maintain neutrality if she asked me, 'Mom, what would you do?' because I would want to answer honestly, but also let her know that she doesn't have to make the same choice I would. The only exception MIGHT be if she was younger than thirteen, depending on her physical maturity level. It's awful to even think about those circumstances, but in that case I might encourage her to consider abortion, if only because full pregnancy so early can have long term health effects. [/QUOTE]
