I got an e-mail today from a young woman who was compelled by her “pro-life” parents and her own beliefs to continue a pregnancy caused by date rape. She now deeply regrets the decision. I’ve gotten a few e-mails like this in the past few months, and I was toying with the idea of creating a section where women could tell such stories to show the reality that “pro-lifers” conveniently choose to ignore. I know it doesn’t really jibe with the whole “I’m not sorry” idea, but I think this happens more often than is reported and may give women like this an outlet that isn’t normally available. Your thoughts?
