The purpose of this initiative is to give women who have been sexual assaulted (raped) the proper information about emergency contraception from any licensed health care facility. This is occurring in Connecticut. To get an initiative on the ballot in the state of Connecticut, you have to get enough signatures on your petition.
1. Would this "emergency contraception" be considered abortion?
2. Should women who have been sexual assaulted have the right to an abortion because of the circumstance?
3. Do you think it would be fair for a woman who got raped to be forced to keep the baby?
1. I believe it would be considered abortion but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing thats simply a scientific fact and doesn't display any type of moral reasoning.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, because the circumstances can create a very traumatic experience and its only fair to give the woman who have suffered that the ability to move on from it and not only blame themselves but the innocent child for the crime, this could also result in many children being born to damaged home lives.
3. No, because they may not have the ability to raise the child properly and that they were already forced to do one act, who are we as a society to force them to do another?
