I think a middle class woman would be less likely to have to rely on the state to rid her body of an attacker’s child.

Yes she probably would have the money on hand to be able to pay for her own abortion, but just because she can, does it make good moral sense for this nation to fine someone a 372 dollar fee civilliberty.about.com give or take in addition to the psychological horror that she had to undergo by being raped?

In my book charging people for an abortion they are getting due to rape, is like charging people for being in a fender bender which was entirely the other driver’s fault, why should society punish the victim with a monetary obligation?
