If you turn on a light...

Love the quote! I may have to borrow that one! Way to go Bone!!!!!
It's hardly original.
When I turned the bathroom light on in the house if lived in as a kid - - - the big black water bugs scattered.
It was a major triumph when I was big enough to turn the light on while standing on the toilet seat - - so they didn't crawl across my toes.

Right!
Not to mention that reporting the rape may lead to retaliation and/or to a humiliating public trial that may well rip her reputation to shreds.

Very rare that an unborn baby harms its mother. A baby has all the advantages available to you and I. Parasite examples, ticks, fleas, tapeworms, leeches and lice.
I don't care.
A parasite is still a parasite. There is NOTHING in the definition that states it harms the host.
Our bodies are also covered with microscopic bugs that eat skin that flakes off. So what?

I didn't have a rough upbringing. I had a great time as a child.
My mom believed in being free and expressing yourself.
Now - - if she'd made a big deal out of materialism and society restrictions - - - etc. I might not have had a great time as a child.
My dad split after my mom became paralyzed from polio - - - with 3 kids under 7.
My kids dad was jealous of them and my time being a mom to them - - - and they were his kids.
My oldest grandson's dad chose drugs over him - - - he is the most awesome kid ever.
My other grandson's dad died of Cancer.
No - - I don't think irresponsible parent is hereditary.

That is none of your business. Why do you need to know anyway? Do you need to tailor your posts differently for rape victims, as opposed to loose, empty headed, irresponsible baby killing, stupid women?

Plenty of women die or are otherwise left with heart problems, kidney problems, varicose veins. Not to mention the heartburn, bloating, swollen ankles, backaches, nausea, migraine headaches, moodswings, etc, etc. etc. that accompany a normal, healthy pregnancy.

Uh Oh Annee, looks like you might want to get your story straight. It seems you may have split personalities or something.
How many childhoods did you have?????

As a matter of fact I do. You're exploiting their choice to justify yours. A woman who was raped and had an abortion is in no way equal to a woman who willingly slept with 10 guys and had an abortion.
The comparison is insulting to say the least.

THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF WOMEN REVEALED

Here are your top 7 threats to women
UN estimates reveal fewer women dying from pregnancy-related causes, but 1,000 still die a day and more needs to be done to achieve set targets
Maternal Deaths Worldwide Drop by a Third - 15 September 2010
GENEVA — The number of women dying due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth has decreased by 34 per cent from an estimated 546,000 in 1990 to 358,000 in 2008, according to a new report, "Trends in Maternal Mortality", released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the World Bank.
The progress is notable, but the annual rate of decline is less than half of what is needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015. This will require an annual decline of 5.5 per cent. The 34 per cent decline since 1990 translates into an average annual decline of just 2.3 per cent.
"The global reduction in maternal death rates is encouraging news," says Dr. Margaret Chan, the Director-General of WHO. "Countries where women are facing a high risk of death during pregnancy or childbirth are taking measures that are proving effective; they are training more midwives, and strengthening hospitals and health centres to assist pregnant women. No woman should die due to inadequate access to family planning and to pregnancy and delivery care."

I said I think. And I said world wide.
That would include underdeveloped 3rd world countries.
Let's get some facts.

No woman should die due to inadequate access to family planning and to pregnancy and delivery care."
Pregnant women still die from four major causes: severe bleeding after childbirth, infections, hypertensive disorders and unsafe abortion. Every day, about 1000 women died due to these complications in 2008. Out of the 1,000, 570 lived in sub-Saharan Africa, 300 in South Asia and five in high-income countries. The risk of a woman in a developing country dying from a pregnancy-related cause during her lifetime is about 36 times higher compared to a woman living in a developed country.
"To achieve our global goal of improving maternal health and to save women's lives, we need to do more to reach those who are most at risk," says Anthony Lake, Executive Director of UNICEF. "That means reaching women in rural areas and poorer households, women from ethnic minorities and indigenous groups, and women living with HIV and in conflict zones."
