She can try again, but the fetus has no such option.)" Which is, generally, the way I feel. There could be situations where, if abortion were not an option she would die. This is one of the main reasons I think abortion should remain legalized. It wouldn"t be right to force a woman to continue with a pregnancy that could put her at risk of either dying or being severely injured. .
I know someone who, recently, found out she was pregnant. She is very anemic and her doctors told her that if she went through with her pregnancy, her child would be at high risk of having anemia. The also said there was a high probability of her hemorrhaging during labor. She decided not to go through the pregnancy because she didn"t want to put her child at such a high risk and because the odds of something happening to her were too high. This was a situation where abortion was the right thing to do. .
There is always the predicament that rape victims are left in if they become pregnant. People with opposing views on abortion believe that aborting the pregnancy wouldn"t help anything. They believe that the only thing it would is create a second, innocent, victim. I think this is the wrong way of looking at it. I mean, look at it from her point of view. Forcing her to go through with that pregnancy will not only have major psychological effects on her, it would also be hard for her to bond with her child. How is a mother supposed to bond with a child that was conceived when she was brutally raped? Ken Wear addresses the same issue he sets up the scenario of a woman being taken away and being raped, "As a result she is pregnant. She had no choice but had forced upon her, against her will, possibly violently, a pregnancy by a man to her unknown and best described as scum-of-the-earth. Does anyone feel that she should commit her life to nurturing the child thus imposed upon her when, by the time that child reaches majority, she will herself be near middle-age and will have largely passed the possibility of husband and family?" It's not right and this shouldn"t happen.
