What alarms me is that he said doctors have told him this...

Oh yeah, so if you are able to find one person from 42 years ago who has the same stupid opinion, that's all you need to walk around with the same stupid opinion.

So its better to force a woman to carry around her rapist's baby for none months and delivery her rapist's baby than to abort it. That's just sick. The war on women is on.

the fact that their brain isnt developped enough to be conscious, taught me that.

[carultch]

Who told you that? The Gut Masher Institute?

[EduardoElSexypants]

It's not someone. It's a fetus it is not even conscious that it exists yet.

False allegations of rape. The kind that gave rise to Roe v. Wade in the first place. Roe made a false allegation of rape as a loophole to get through Texas's rape exception. Wade called her bluff, because there was no evidence of her rape.

Is Charles Jaco pro-life or pro-choice?

Women's health issues should be left for women to decide. Men have no say in what a woman decides with her body, unless there is a mutual, consensual partnership, that both work towards. Rape is traumatic, and to force someone to relive that moment through pregnancy, is cruel. To reduce the amount of abortions given, there needs to be education, not complete remove of the option. If this option is taken away, more women will die, and more children will be put into orphanages.

"Legitimate rape"? As opposed to...what?

[Alpha Diallo]

It harms something.
