Just explain to me...if I am in a dilemma about anything; how can the absence of ALL options make it a false one. If one has to consider a range of all options, and include every option in that consideration, then I believe few human dilemmas will not be false. Additionally, it is really important to understand that women who choose abortions have already considered the ramifications of carrying the fetus to term and the decision to have an abortion is not made absent of those other considerations.

They not only want to preach about how people 'should live their personal lives according to God's wisdom', but they also want to force you to live that way by physically restricting your access to birth control, to emergency contraception, to abortion. I haven't checked Doug Wilson's blog lately, but I'm guessing he's thrilled that such 'men' like Paul Ryan and Todd Akin are fighting tooth and nail to enshrine God's law into the law of the land.<BR><BR>-Scott</SPAN></div>

The authors, Roy Levin and Willy van <SPAN class=yiv797632583mark>Berlo</SPAN>, considered reports from doctors, nurses and therapists who work with rape survivors. Many of the clinicians had experienced distraught victims’ asking why they felt lubrication or even orgasm during rape.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></div></DIV>

It is not detailed in the [professional] literature because the victims usually do not want to tell/talk about it because they feel guilty, as people will think that if it happened they must have enjoyed it. The victims often say, ‘My body let me down.’ Some, however, cannot summon the courage to say even that.”</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></div></DIV>
<DIV>
<div style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; BACKGROUND: white" class=yiv797632583MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia', 'serif'; COLOR: black">Heartbreaking. Levin and van <SPAN class=yiv797632583mark>Berlo</SPAN> found that victims report evidence of physical arousal in as many as 21 percent of rape cases, even when they also report violence and high levels of fear and mental distress. Why? The researchers note that many rapes are <SPAN class=yiv797632583mark>comitted</SPAN> by acquaintances or romantic partners of the victims; initial familiarity or even attraction might be supplanted by terror as an encounter becomes coercive. This is relevant, I think, to the<SPAN class=yiv797632583ecxyiv1788997230ecxyiv1572640160ecxapple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2010/12/the_perils_of_charging_rape.html" rel=nofollow target=_blank><SPAN style="COLOR: #496a8b">charges against Julian <SPAN
class=yiv797632583mark>Assange</SPAN></SPAN></A>, who is accused of sexual assault for refusing to wear a condom with female partners who had earlier consented to sex. If that <SPAN class=yiv797632583mark>occured</SPAN>, it is still rape: physical force was used to violate the initial, consensual terms of the encounter.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></div></DIV>

What he cares about is saving as many fetuses as possible, regardless of what calamity befell the women forced to bear them. For example, if you were raped by
an ex-husband or ex-boyfriend, is your fetus as unwanted as that of a woman raped by a stranger? If you were raped by a man with whom you were drinking, do you deserve that free pass abortion? Non-consensual sex is non-consensual sex. It exerts unwanted control over a woman’s body—as does forced pregnancy.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"></SPAN></div></DIV>
