Rape and Incest Victims Don't Want Abortion, Say It Doesn't Help Women

Abortion creates more problems for rape and incest victims than it solves, according to the Ad Hoc Committee of Women Pregnant by Sexual Assault (WPSA).
In an effort to gain a public voice in the contentious abortion debate, the group has written a petition to Congress and state legislatures asking for public hearings at which women who've become pregnant through sexual assault can share their stories and address the real concerns that they have faced.

"We are deeply offended and dismayed each time our difficult circumstances are exploited for public consumption to promote the political agenda of others."
The group is particularly concerned about the widespread misconception, even among people who generally oppose abortion, that sexual assault victims generally want or benefit from abortions. [Entire Article]
