Rape victims should have choice to abort

When it comes to abortion everyone should be pro-choice, because you should decide whether you have a baby or not.

If you get raped, then you have the choice to get an abortion because you don't know what kind of diseases or illness the rapist or the baby might have. In the case of incest, you should have the choice to get an abortion because your child can come out defected or with some type of illness. Plus, if you get raped and you don't have a job, how are you planning on feeding your child?

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, someone is raped every two minutes in America. The Department of Justice also says approximately 28 percent of victims are raped by husbands or boyfriends, 35 percent by acquaintances and 5 percent by other relatives.

Abortion should be legal all over the country because innocent people are getting raped and hurt each day and they shouldn't suffer for a child that they had no intention of having yet.
