- Women who lie about rape make up about 1% or less of those reporting.
- Yes, lying about something like rape is sickening; however, the 99% of
- real rape survivors must have their rights protected.
-
- I would imagine that if abortion is deemed illegal except through rape
- or incest, the cases of women lying about rape will go drastically up,
- which would make it even more difficult for society to believe the real
- rape survivors.
-
- Since most rapists seem to go unpunished, making abortion illegal except
- for rape or incest, would pretty much keep abortions from most of the
- rape survivors.
-
- Remember too, that a woman is *always* risking her life during a pregnancy.
- Her life is always in danger. A woman can go through a whole pregnancy
- without complications, yet die during delivery. Forcing a human being to
- go through such a risk is repulsive to me, and I will do everything in my
- power to keep women from being forced into such a gamble with death.
