The Deciders.

Let's see if I understand this. A young girl is walking home at night and is dragged into an alley and raped and beaten by a serial rapist. He gets away. She gets pregnant. Now the Republicans demand that this young victim who has her whole life ahead of her give birth to this criminal's child. Nine months pass. Now, she can no longer go to college. She has to put all her plans on hold. Her boyfriend isn't thrilled to have to deal with this child of a dangerous criminal. She, frankly, finds it hard to love the child herself. Now she has more expenses and all the requirements of an unwed mother. Her future is gone. Her boyfriend is gone. Of course she could always hand the kid over to an orphanage. But she has higher standards than that. Still any great happiness she would have experienced is gone. And what did she do wrong? Nothing. But the religious chauvinist Republicans in power, who will never donate a penny to helping this girl, believe that life is important.  Not her life, mind you.
