Plan B can prevent ovulation.

Who, after finding out their daughter, who has been missing for 48 hours, has been raped and brutalized has the presence of mind immediately after to sit down and blog about how awesome she is for sticking to her ideals?

Also the daughter is bipolar, yet this person repeatedly calls her mentally ill and goes on about her diminished capacity.... I might be mistaken, but properly medicated a bi polar individual is perfectly capable of thinking for themselves. So all she did was shove her own morals down her daughter's throat. If this was real, then this is the Worst Mother Ever.

Maybe her daughter would have decided to use the Plan B, maybe she'd have made the same decision as the mother, either way I would have supported that choice. But the mom's job in this, her only job in this should have been to stand by her daughter, to make sure she had comfort and company while she made the choice, and that she had access to unbiases, accurate information.

It's not my place to judge someone elses choice. That is the thing about being pro-CHOICE. It is her choice to make. And she made it.

As a rape victim myself, I find this statement extremely troubling. Perhaps it was just spoken in anger and pain, but I cannot let it go without comment.

A child is innocent of his or her parents' sins and mistakes. A great deal of evil is visited on innocent children around the world and throughout time due to this mistaken idea that they share the blame for something they did not do.

Should children of rape and incest, when discovered, be executed? What about children conceived in anger, or revenge, or oppression, or dishonesty, or spite? Or should they just be ostracized, hated, and ignored? What about those conceived out of wedlock, or within an unhappy or unbalanced marriage?

No, because they are innocent. They are children.

Those who are unequivocally pro-life believe life deserves protection from the moment of conception (not implantation) to the moment of natural death. So causing an abortion of a newly conceived life is the moral equivalent of executing a newborn because her father was a rapist.

This mother put her beliefs in action. Her daughter agreed with her decision. All of the mother's children are adopted, and her daughter who was raped may have resulted from rape herself. She made her choice, and she made it with love.

The death penalty is a separate issue, because it does not involve innocent life. Saying all children conceived in rape deserve to die is depraved.

For the record, I am pro-life and against the death penalty, and I would do what that mother did.

No one said this.

The OP of the quote you highlighted was a rape victim whose parents made the choice for her to carry the pregnancy. You twisted her words to suit your agenda. typical. I believe her point was that being the child of a rape victim is a burden, perhaps she can clarify. I highly doubt she meant what you say she did.

I completely disagree. Because there is a fundamental difference between making a *moral* judgment, and using that as the basis for *legal* judgment.

I am also pro-choice. I believe the choice of whether or not to have an abortion should be made my an individual and not by the state. But that doesn't mean I won't judge you if I don't agree with the basis of your decision. It just means I respect your right to make that decision.
