I still don't see how rape could constitute to someone taking a life and thinking it's right.

Also, if anything I'm willing to bet that the women who have to live with the fact that they went through with an abortion have it a lot worse off than a woman who has to live with putting her child up for adoption where they may attain a "better life" and may, perhaps, be reunited someday. So, even psychologically, I'd say abortion would be a lot harder of a crutch to bear for a girl than adoption.

I'm more connected to this than you asking the "if you were the girl and pregnant" questions are. Yeah, I may never get pregnant. But, guess what - I'm the embryo, which is a lot closer to it than any of you have ever experienced.
Well that's a nice theory however if I was a 14 year old girl and needed a "parental figure" to approve of my abortion, well let's just say I'm sure I could find one, even if they aren't quite a parental figure.

Now you started it so here I go. First you should really appreciate the fact that you are a guy and never have to go through the trama of being raped and then getting pregnant. Seriously thank your lucky stars every day for that. So I don't even know how to explain to you why it's perfectly acceptable for a woman in such a circumstance to have a abortion because you couldn't possibly understand the emotional harm.

And you know what I'd really wish you'd stop with this "I'm the embryo". Tell me do you know for a fact that your mother even considered abortion. Because if she didn't then your experience in your mother's womb was no different than mine. And you are not a embryo you were once a long time ago, before you were a human being, but now you're not so please stop saying you are. It just makes no sense, I honestly don't believe that you remember being in your mother's womb at the time most abortions occur. So no I don't think that you are any closer to this that I am and I still believe that because you are a guy I'm much closer to this topic than you'll ever be because it deals with MY rights NOT YOURS.
