Rapists Win Alright...So Does Idiocy

If a woman or girl is raped and subsequently has an abortion, the rapist wins. At least that is what Paula Westwood believes.

Paula Westwood, executive director of Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati, [argues] that men win and women lose when a child of rape is aborted.

"What has happened is, men know, 'Well, if I happen to rape a woman, I can have her get an abortion,' and then even if he goes to prison he's free of all responsibility," she says. "If (victims of rape) can carry the child to term, they're free from any guilt from an abortion and they're also freer because the man really has no hold on them, because even though the man fathered the child the woman has some victory over it."

Um, I'm sorry Ms. bag-o-douche...please explain to me how a man "happens" to rape a woman? In fact, please draw me a picture.
And why would she assume that EVERY woman feels guilt over aborting a rape-child? I would argue that this is hardly the majority.
More disturbing is her blatant ignorance and disregard about rape and the emotional/psychological trauma that occurs thereafter. "Rape trauma" affects SO many victims, regardless if a pregnancy occurs...
Perhaps her violent nightmares, her mistrust of half the population, and her constant over-the-shoulder glances are just figments of her imagination and he really DOESN'T have a hold on her. Perhaps her fear confines her to her house.
He has control mentally, Ms. bag-o-douche.
