Choice For the Sake of Life

It is estimated that one fourth of rapes against women of child bearing age result in pregnancy. To oppose abortion even in cases of rape or incest would be unthinkable if it were not for the fact that so many people not only think about such opposition but champion it.
At least for the sake of human dignity allow a woman so violated to choose whether or not to abort that pregnancy.
Recent reports indicate that the number of Alaska Native or Native American women who are raped is three and one half times higher than the number of women in any other racial group in America. Almost fifteen percent of Alaska's population is Alaska Native or Native American.
At least for the sake of human dignity allow a woman so violated to choose whether or not to abort that pregnancy.
If not at least for the sake of human dignity, then at the very least for the sake of human intelligence allow a woman to make that choice.
