the biggest problem for me in this whole situation is, I agree with you completely. abortion IS wrong and it always will. I'm a woman you know, so my mathernity instincts, the ones responsible for protecting everything that's innocent, defendless and newborn are especially strong. I don't need church's preeching to know and realise that. however, because I am a woman, I also can understand how that girl feels. no, I can't understand, I can only imagine. you're a guy, you have no idea how big of a trauma a girl, especially her age, can suffer after being raped. she's only a child and with that dick's thoughtless action, her whole childhood is lost, her life is turned upside down. now she is "blessed" with a baby. for the world, it's a blessing, a new human is going to be born. for her, it's tragedy. for upcoming 9 months she's going to experience hardships and responsibility of a MOTHER. at the age of 14. she'll probably have to abandon school for this time, her friends will turn away from her probably. yet, she's also a woman, now pregnant. she may be seeking abortion now, but I'm sure when it comes to the point when it's possible, she'll hesitate. it's a life, a human being, like you pointed out well. and she's not capable of murdering it.
this whole issue is full of conflicts. you cannot kill another human, that's a crime. but you also cannot make poor innocent girl take responsibility for something she wasn't asking for. I'd never dare start a discussion on abortion, for it's too individual issue. we women have it even harder on us. what pained me in that particular case, is media's behaviour. especially media that are connected to so called "church". don't get me wrong, I'm not defying church in general, just this one particular fraction, that does not teach about God, they're as good as a sect to me. all the priests that I've met in school were teaching us how abortion is a crime. but they didn't seek for attention, they weren't using God's name to get special governmental privilidges. THAT what pains me. I pity the girl, because life for her is going to be really really tough now, no matter what decision she makes. hopefully it's the right one.
