The trauma to their bodies that are not fully grown and the trauma to their young minds that are still children is the worst thing about it to me. Regardless of being able to afford bringing up a baby, I firmly believe the trauma to these young girls’ health and well-being is much worse than the economics. Extreme abortion bans are exceptionally cruel. I’ll bet many very young rape victims don’t even understand how they got pregnant.

White male “ Christian” lawmakers just don’t give a shit.
