[As a teenager I was raped. I became pregnant and undoubtedly terminated said pregnancy. Why should I have to live with something that I had no say in creating for the rest of my life? Why should I be tasked with raising a child I didn't not want nor could provide for? Why is my right to chose anybody's business? A fetus is a fetus and nothing more. It is not a human being until it leaves the body. It does not have rights. It is given rights the moment it is able to breathe oxygen not before.]

I am very sorry for what happened to you. I am also sorry that after experiencing such a horrible atrocity, you chose to turn around and commit an even worse act of violence against your child. Why did you inflict corporal punishment on your baby for a crime they didn’t even commit? You do realize you could have put them up for adoption, right? Why did they deserve to have the life crushed out of them? Why was their right to live subject to change based on YOUR bigoted, subjective opinion of their worth?

A human fetus is a HUMAN BEING. To say otherwise is to deny the laws of bio-genesis, which state that humans cannot reproduce anything but other humans. What, you think pregnant women carry potatoes in their uteri for 10 months, until the act of labor magically transforms the baby into a human? No. Your baby was a living, human being. They had as much a right to not be killed as you, regardless of the fact that they were attached to you by an umbilical cord. I’m sorry you felt that it was your right to violate and oppress them.
