Apple, perhaps I need to clarify my position. When I said that I feel I can speak, what I meant was that as such a survivor, I feel the necessity to have abortion as an option. The new South Dakota law bans all abortions, even for victims of rape and incest. And even if it did have such a provision, since rape is such a difficult crime to prove, I believe that such a provision would be meaningless anyway. My point was that every woman should have the right to make her own choice under such circumstances, and if Roe v. Wade is overturned, then that choice is taken away from us.
