She's right. It's NOT about the CHILDREN.

NONE of you pro-life shits give two flying fucks about the CHILDREN. If you did, you'd take in a pregnant teen and help her with the child.

BUT NONE OF YOU DO!

[PiesBabe]

breaks my heart. I know how she feels when she sang this. I was raped when I was 9 and again when I was 17. I have suffered for years with the damage the people have done to me. Thank you tori. this song speaks to me.

Wow, you fundamentalists are frightening (all those bombers were fundamentalists too). Imagine you're going out for a special night, looking great. Because of that, someone punches you, and punches and punches and punches. The next day you're black and blue and in hideous pain. But it doesn't stop. For nine months they keep punching you. The bruises never heal, for years. But yay, a baby!

How incredibly cruel. You should be ashamed. What is wrong with people?

@vadimzeland She is sharing a part of her life, an experience that has changed her. Watch her 20/20 interview and learn you idiot.

@vadimzeland I'm beyond disappointed that you weren't aborted.

I'm mostly amazed that when viewing this particular video some executive in charge of the Big Red chewing gum division said, "ooh, this song and these particular views should have a great appeal to our customers."

How can any of you say what is wrong when it comes to an abortion? What, do you think any woman enjoys getting an invasive medical procedure? I think it's selfish of people to judge a young woman's decision to get an abortion in cases of rape, especially when they tend to be underdeveloped, going through school, and aren't emotionally prepared to raise a child. To say that the impregnation as a result of rate is "gods plan" is also most fucked up thing I've ever heard.

@neakblue One would be a little niave to say that rape is the only situation abortion is used. I cannot grasp the distress rape would bring, yet abortion still isnt the answer. It is selfish to not sacrifice 9 months. The child is not a reflection of his/her father and should not be the scapegoat for the mother's frustration.

@Ds771737

yes abortion is not justified in any way the baby did nothing wrong. but think of it this way you had no choice to get raped but it should be your choice to keep the baby to term and then give it up or keep it or if you cant handle that. you should be able to have a abortion. but you should not be able to have an abortion just because you want to. but every life should be valued but this is not a perfect world is it.

[Ds771737]

I adore Ms. Amos but she is not correct.; even in the situation of rape abortion is not justified. The child may be of the rapist's seed but hardly justifies inhibiting the child's life. Abortion is a selfish act regardless of how it is viewed. If the mother's life is in jeapordy, it may serve as a cure and be the wisest choice but applying it as a barbaric birth control is unjust.
