Assuming the rape conceived life, what kind of medical treatment are we talking about?

It takes 24-48 hours to for an egg to be fertilized. If immediate medical attention is sought the uterus can be flushed so the sperm and egg actually never meet. This is a little known fact and doctors don't usually tell victims about it. This prevents pregnancy-obviously. It can take a day or two of recovery because of the dilation but that would be much better that the emotional trauma of what to do about a prenancy.
Personally I am anti-abortion. I use that term instead of pro-life, because who is really "anti-life" or "anti-choice." I have personal reasons as well as religious reasons for feeling this way. I don't condone the killing of abortion doctors. In fact, it makes me very mad because it makes people like me look like my beliefs are less valid. Even though I am really conservative I feel like birth-control education is important-people have sex no matter what. Young people in other countries don't have the pregnany rate we do here. That's because they are 10 times more likely to use contraception, not because they don't have sex.
get down off that soapbox
