try to take this into consideration:
If you were a mother who had a child from rape and it was born, would you kill it cos of the painful memories. It is a tiny innocent baby, it does not deserve to die nor did the mother deserve to go through this, but it has happened, a child should not have to die either.
Would you kill a baby? that is what abortion is.

[FONT=Georgia, serif]I dont remember his face at all, I remember only the stink of him. I was hiding in our old school. I could hear the gunfire across the square and I was terrified. I still felt terror then. I was alone, I had gone off in the morning to fetch water and then the gunfire began. There were no windows left in the old school and the wind howled and I was shivering.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]He was a tall man, unshaven and he smelt of flesh and fire. He kept offering me the chocolate and I kept refusing.[/FONT]

Eat it you damn animal![/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]I was frightened, I began to howl.
Dear God, save me, let me live. He shut me up with the butt of his rifle. I was bleeding. The blood was intoxicating for him. He forced me to my knees and ordered me to eat the chocolate. I obeyed. I ate with my broken jaw, I tasted only my own blood.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]He lifted my skirt and I felt his hand upon me. It hurt but I knew enough now to be silent. It hurt. It hurt as he had me on my knees like the animal he called me. It did not take long and has never stopped occuring. It sickened me, the sting of his semen as it splattered inside. He spat, buttoned his trousers and ordered me to remain on my knees. He walked backwards, watching me warily, his rifle raised.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]I was thirteen and still a virgin. It was my mother who took me to the abortionist. Hospitals closed, no medicine. It was like the old days I was told. I closed my eyes and the old woman forced the wire inside me. I could feel her scraping inside me. I bled for days.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]God answered my prayers. He is cruel that way.[/FONT]
