If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant and decides to carry the pregnancy to term, I support that as a choice. There wasn't any forced birth in this "letter," just a thought process that ended up choosing to carry the pregnancy to term.

Wait, is that the joke? It's late and I've been drinking, so maybe it's over my head.
