Sure, it's a great thing that her mother chose life for her because she turned out great. That doesn't mean that other women wouldn't hold resentment toward a child for being forced to carry a child inside of her for nine months. To raise it on her own (unless she happens to be married). Nobody would force people to get abortions after rape. But to deny people an abortion because of rape is to force someone to carry a pregnancy to term after being violated in such a horrible way. For some women it is a constant reminder of what happened to them. Many of them would be unable to keep their jobs, and then they'd have to give birth to their rapists baby. I don't understand how someone can force that choice on a woman. Especially already having the stigma of being raped attached to them. It's punishing the mother essentially for being raped. You're telling her that it's not her body. That her body belongs to her rapist's child. A child who's existence will be a reminder for her that she was raped. Even if she gives it up for adoption, the existence of that child will continue to weigh on her.
