You don’t want no one to hate you for your opinion yet you want everyone to go with what your opinion is because that’s what you think is right. I have absolutely no problem with people who are full on agasint abortion. What I have a problem is, is when people are forced to do what you believe in because it’s what you believe in. I have mixed feelings about abortion but just because I do, doesn’t mean everyone else does and that I should take the option away from people. How is someone getting an abortion effecting you? People should be allowed to have choices and it should not be taken away

Exactly, it doesn’t matter if you hate the idea of abortion, and if you don’t want abortion or don’t like the idea of it that’s totally fine but it’s NEVER okay to enforce your beliefs on everyone else. I’m not going to hate you for your decision but I won’t support it either.

Rape happens because of rapists. I get where you’re coming from but we shouldn’t be putting the victim at fault here.

okay but my mother loves me though and was just washing clothes upstairs and didn’t have any idea what some 10 year old was capable of. neither did i.

Exactly, and you can love someone so much and still bad stuff can happen to that person. The ONLY person who should EVER have to feel blame, shame or guilt is the attacker/assailant.

Even in the most caring environments, there are still predators. For example, a rapist might look towards nephews and nieces, and they go with him because they have established trust! The parents might trust them! They can’t always look behind their backs- especially if you think nothing like this is ever going to happen! We can’t blame the victims for the rape (and that is probably not what you’re doing) because it can happen anywhere, no matter the type of environment. People shouldn’t have to be careful, there just shouldn’t be bad people. But there are. And 11-year-olds don’t think about that kind of stuff! They probably don’t know what rape is!
Rape is very traumatic and if someone got pregnant from that rape… I don’t think they would be able to live with themselves, they already have trouble standing up, now they are expected to carry the child? It would be incredibly traumatic, and yeah- you can’t blame the child for that, but what about its mother? The pain she has to go through looking at the baby, going through with the pregnancy, caring for something she never wanted, nor expected. If she doesn’t report the rapist, he might have an excuse to be in her life because of the baby- it’s hard to report something as traumatic as that.
It’s also my personal belief that yeah, abortion can be hard, but that the spirit of the child was not meant for this world when the mother aborted it, it’s hard- it isn’t an easy decision, but most abortions are incredibly thought out, and hard to go through. Which is why I think that we shouldn’t make that kind of decision for someone just because of beliefs.
I respect your and the beliefs of Pro-Lifers, but I don’t think that abortions should be outright banned and considered murder if the mother chooses not to go through with the pregnancy.

you physically cannot prepare yourself for rape. there is ALWAYS a way. the only way it would probably not be likely if you kept yourself locked in a house forever with the windows blocked and doors locked. rape isn’t something you can be ready for. you can’t ask the people you meet if they’re a rapist. you cannot be around your parent or guardian constantly. you won’t be protected all the time. anyone can hurt you in any way and any time. you cannot blame the victim for that. only the rapist is to blame. victims don’t make the rapist rape them. the rapist is a horrible person that should go to prison and needs to be better. it is in NO way the victims fault for the rapist not knowing boundaries. it’s ignorant to think that it is, if i’m being honest.

This is what is known as victim blaming. As a victim of something awful myself, I can say that it’s not as easy as you think. Some of these people are intelligent enough to not throw out alarm bells before they hurt another human being. There are hundreds of reasons why you might be caught off guard — lots of times it comes from someone you knew and thought you could trust.
Victim blaming is never a good response to rape.

It can still happen. Sometimes you’re distracted for a moment and your child is snatched. Other times it comes from a parent, teacher, family member or friend of the family you thought you could trust. You can’t keep your eyes on your child at every single moment of the day. All it takes it a second for something bad to happen.

Near where I live London, a teenage girl was dragged into a park at 4pm — a park right next to a primary/elementary school when all the parents would have been around taking their kids from school and went through a 3-4 hour ordeal. No one knew. No one saw. She walked all the way home afterwards.
Now she was 14. Is that her fault? She did all the things she was told. Crossed the road a few times. Walked in somewhere fairly public, etc.

Now you have mentioned this story, this occurred to me that there was this girl I went to university with (she’s a Muslim but don’t worry, I’m not generalising all of them of course) victim blamed the 14 year old saying that she shouldn’t have walked through that path. I was face palming so hard that I went beast mode.
