@Headhunter004 Do you mind giving evidence for that statement? GOP governors have created some of the best support centers and improved state care to cater to these issues.

In fact, I'm sure she would rather have me grab a noose and strangle her to death than go through the obliviously awful fate YOU would subject her to, at least then her spirit would die at the same time as her body and not long before.

No, it doesn't, your rights stop when they infringe on the rights of others, this is a WELL-KNOWN FACT in both constitutional and international law! There is no right to live at the expense of someone else's life or body. Just as the government can't force me to give up my kidney for someone with heart failure to survive, they can't force a woman to remain pregnant for the sake of a fetus's life. It doesn't matter how fundamental it is, if it infringes on another's rights, it's nonexistent.

"What is the difference?"
MAJOR difference: those unwanted people outside the womb, besides being fully sentient beings WITH THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND SENSES, unlike unborn embryos or fetuses, aren't using anyone's body against their will and in such a grave way.
"One living human being is denied the the right to life for existing inside the womb?"
It's NOT a human being until it's viable. Until then, the woman is CLEARLY the only rights-bearing human being to be considered.
-
"It's the same blood shed."
CLEAR-CUT difference when it's viable then beforehand: when it's viable it is then an actual, LEGITIMATE human being instead of by religious wacko standard of having a single cell. There's a REASON non-viable embryos or feti aren't treated as people (besides the fact that they're NOT people): treating them as such strips women of control over their own bodies, at which point they might as well not even be alive, and because it inflicts mass suffering on REAL people.

"As if the child purposeless, selfishly decides to cause pain to his/ her mother."
Lame argument... cancer doesn't "choose" to enter anyone's body, either! Should you just live with it then, and let it kill you? And don't even give me that "pregnancy doesn't kill like cancer does" BS, unwanted pregnancy (ESPECIALLY one resulting from rape) DOES kill the one thing that TRULY matters: the spirit. Even if it doesn't kill physically, it's still a grave enough invasion of our body to fight it.

"I was raped to get pregnant!!" Uh, okay. So good to have two such profoundly articulate individuals speaking for the "Pro-Life" side. Would one expect anything other than this.

dont talk to us about making people disposable. you are making women disposable by turning them into nothing more than fetal batteries. the only one abusing human life is you by making women be pregnant to appease your conscience. it doesnt get anymore dehumannizing than forced pregnancy. there is no greater abuse of a person than what you are suggesting. to put the needs of a non-sentient barely alive organism above a woman is reckless and irresponsible to say the least.
God bless that young lady with her choice, but they are both still confusing their religious beliefs with the Bill of Rights.

"forced pregnancy wouldn't be so torturess if the right care and support is provided."
Yes, it would, pregnancy is NOT like breaking a fingernail and NO amount of care or support is going to mask this. You "pro-lifers" show absolutely no care or regard for women who are raped and thereafter get pregnant (or even get pregnant by means other than rape), "supporting" her in forcing her to carry the seed of a rapist? I could literally strangle her to death and it would be more loving!
