Within the past week a good friend of mine sent me an article stating that the house of reps want to define "what kind of rape will allow a woman to be able to get funding for her abortion." That is absolutely absurd! I believe that rape is rape, and if a woman needs or wants an abortion after her body has been violated, she should be allowed without this absurd law going into effect! The last time I checked a woman still has a right to choose. If for whatever reason she found herself in the unfortunate position where she has been raped (don't get me wrong i think rape is wrong and NO women should EVER have to endure that), thus not being able to consent to the sex, she should at least still be able to choose if she wants an abortion or not without our government stepping in to "define" what kind of rape should constitute getting funding for an abortion.
