You hear it all the time when the Pro-Birth crowd says a woman does not have a right to choose other than the right to choose not to have sex if she does not want to get pregnant.

For them, sex is mutual, optional, and always under the woman’s control. It is her choice. Rape is just God’s way to get women pregnant and His involvement removes any say on the part of the woman. He trumps her choice whether or not to have sex.

There is never force or power involved.

If it were just some guy raping a woman that would be bad. However, the defense of rape offered by the religious leaders and politicians is that the fetus is a gift from God and such a gift from such a source must not be rejected.

Taking God out of the equation and not dealing with it as rape, a woman, if she so chooses to have sex must accept any consequences desired or otherwise. If she wants to avoid pregnancy, a woman should not have sex.

It’s that simple.

After all, no one would ever accept the idea that a woman can get pregnant while remaining a sexual virgin.
