[quote=MayaJ][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what % of abortion  are because of "Rape" or something bad that happens?[/quote]

What's your definition of "bad"?

Rape - bad
Incest - bad
Abusive partner - bad
Birth control pills were tampered or did not work - bad
Condom broke - bad
Ectopic pregnancy - bad
Miscarriage - bad
Fetal abnormalities not consistent with life - bad

You're probably looking at 70%+ of abortions covered by that list of "bad" scenarios. This is why trying to legislate a list of carve-outs is a dumb idea. You can't possibly cover every scenario. [/quote]

Rape - bad
Incest - bad
Abusive partner - should leave partner 
Birth control pills were tampered or did not work - gift from god 
Condom broke - gift from god

I will start this with I am fully pro-choice but I am also raising and loving a child who was conceived through rape.  
If you are going to make any judgment on bad or good, you have to make it across the board for all pregnancy.  A fetus (and eventual child) suddenly doesn't become "bad" because a sperm entered a vagina due to rape.  It is the impact on the woman which makes it "bad" and the incredible difficulty in raising the child. This is the same as if the woman is poor or just darn chooses not to be pregnant. The logic that there is good and bad in this is flawed.  [/quote]

100%. I terminated my third (accidental) pregnancy in my 40s. It wasn’t good or bad, it just wasn’t something that was right for me, my husband and our family. It was not an easy decision. I am at peace with it. [/quote]
