Abortion information we can use.... - Yes we can.

I had to take a long, long moment (and put my chick-who-stares-at-zygotes cap on) to just sit there pondering the “Why Not Abort Her?” subtitle with my mouth hanging wide open.  So, with clothespin pinched tightly in place over nasal structures, I slogged through these Christian gems of wisdom.  Their definition of rape is problematic on levels too numerous to count. 

Are assault rape pregnancies common? / What are the accurate numbers?

For starters, unreported rapes remain out of the dialog, making any rape stats available deeply skewed in downward direction and seriously flawed.  Most crime stats only reflect Akin-esque forcible rapes and numbers become even more unreliable, , depending on how detailed or truncated operative definitions are.  For the sake of argument, the first link below reported 84,767 “forcible” rapes for 2010.  Of those, the CDC reports more than 32,000 pregnancies occur each year.  This is what the bimbos are calling “rare.” 

Keep in mind, this excludes statutory, marital and date rapes, incest, and all other “qualified” flavors of nonconsensual encounters.  By contrast, Rape Trauma Services tallies 683,000 REPORTED rapes in the US yearly.  This boils down to 78 women per hour.  Double that figure and you will almost have the composite total, with an estimate of 54% rapes being unreported (link #3), which also asserts that only 3% of all rapists ever spend a day in jail.  These figures include women ages 18 and over, so the younger teens and child incest victims aren’t counted.

How many pregnancies result? / Please explain.

Pregnancy results from 5% of the all vaginal penetration sexual intercourse encounters.  This includes all the convoluted and contorted mathematical machinations the bimbos use, as detailed below.  Lady parts have no magic sperm-killing/sperm-immune secretions when forced, no spastic tubes response, no hidden cervical trap doors, and no penis-pulverizing dentition emerges on demand from the vaginal walls when being raped.  Pregnancy is Mother Nature’s ultimate crap shoot.   Biological science says so, THAT’S why. 

According to the bimbos, the lucky pre-pubescent, post menopausal, medically- or physiologically-sterilized, contraceptive-protected and rhythmically-correct rape victims defy these odds, as do the more fortunate ones whose rapists fail to ejaculate properly, or are medically- or physiologically-sterile.  Luckier still are those rape victims whose bodies have been “upset” and whose brains have been psyched out (read physically violated and emotionally traumatized), making them much more likely to miscarry.   I guess if the forces are with you and the stars are in alignment, Mother Nature steps in and kills the kid, thus eliminating the need to ponder abortion! 

The discrepancies between their mathematical formulas and the reported statistical data on rape victim pregnancy, indicate somebody’s not dealing with a full deck, but one thing is for sure.  This is not a “rare” occurrence for those 32,000+ pregnant rape victims who, by GOP logic, must all be liars anyway, so they don’t count either.

Why not allow abortion for rape pregnancies? / But carry the rapist’s baby? / I don’t see how she could /But many laws allow for this exception / You accuse the women of lying? ….all the way down to the Incest section 

I do not have the stomach to address these questions, since I couldn’t get past the utterly infuriating hypocrisy and self-righteous hubris of approaching this subject with self-proclaimed “great compassion.”  I will say that the “half the baby is HERS” logic defies the 1Kings 3:16-28 biblical story that relates how REAL mothers do not saw their babies in half.  Also, the idea of any person, male or female, Christian or atheist, who has not faced either rape or abortion would have a clue about what the realities actually entail, sends me running toward the exit.  Of course, the blindly bizarre twist on the feminist radical Gloria Steinem’s words is WAY over the top.   

Incest

OK.  That does it.  Incest involves a SICK MOTHER?  The incest rapist is the victim’s LOVE OBJECT?  She harbors no resentment?  The pregnancy conveniently brings the “relationship” to a halt?  It brings the child closer to the mother? 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????  This is INSANE.

This is the kind of thing...sm - JTBB
