Is anybody asking men, "What if your wife was raped and became pregnant?"

37. Here are the questions that should be asked of these idiots.

Have you ever been raped?

Did you get pregnant?

Were you at risk of getting pregnant?

Men often downplay the awfulness of a woman being raped, but they have a complete horror of being raped by another man, say in prison. Men will constantly say that a woman has "asked for it" by the way she dressed or by being out late at night, or that if she'd fought hard enough it couldn't have happened. Then, some few of them find themselves in a situation where they have not control, and they are raped by other men. Which is a terrible, terrible thing. But at least these men aren't at any risk of getting pregnant and having to bear an unwanted baby.

To me, the only anti-abortion position is this one: If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one.
