In Alabama, Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed the most restrictive anti-abortion bill yet, outlawing virtually all abortions in the state, including in cases of rape and incest.
Forcing a 11-year-old girl to carry a child after a rape, like it has happened in a current case is cruel.
I'm against late-term abortions, but a girl or a woman should be able to have an abortion in the first weeks of pregnancy.
What about your favorite Rule 2? Are we talking about 5 cases/year? 50? 5,000?
And how is it that parents would allow an 11 year old girl to be in a position where this could take place?
I do know of a Christian pastor who was conceived by rape. His mother did not think it was right to abort the baby to pay for the crime of rape. WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
You are trying to deflect from the issue by trying to talk about the number of cases.
I don't know the number, and it is irrelevant. It is cruel to force a child to continue a pregnancy after getting raped. It doesn't matter whether there are 5 or 500 cases per year.
And how is it that parents would allow an 11 year old girl to be in a position where this could take place?
What kind of question is this - gosh, you are acting as if you joined the board only yesterday.
Girls get raped by their fathers, brothers, uncles, their pastors, teachers, sport coaches, neighbours, strangers...you know all this.
WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
No, they are not. Rape is torture, and by forcing a girl to carry the child, you are continuing the torment.
I guess you're a dude, but in case you're a woman, it-s your decision to continue a pregnancy after getting raped (which hopefully will never happen), but this doesn't mean you should force this upon every woman and girl in this situation.

In Georgia, if the rape is immediately reported, she would be given medical treatment to remove the risk of a pregnancy reaching the heartbeat stage.

Yes. But we all know that rape victims very often don.t report rape immediately, due to being traumatized.
Especially underage rape victims.

What are the statistics on 11 year old rape victims in Georgia and Alabama?
"rape victims very often don.t report rape immediately" STATISTICS? LINKS?

c'mon on, are you kidding, @septimasexta - for how long have you been in this investigation?
You don't know that most rape victims don't go to the police immediately, or are you just ignoring it, because it's convenient to push your stance?

"Rape is torture" So is abortion.
