This was posted onto another board by someone else. I won't tell you who, but I will tell you what they said. It looks like an interesting topic and I thought I'd like to see what you all thought of it.
My view:
I can sorta see what this person is saying, but I believe that that everyone has the right to have (and therefore NOT to have) this sort of treatment. We aren't in the sort of world where everyone absolutly everyone has to take up arms and fight against robbers, theives and rapists just to get on with life. We do have some goodness in the world.
Perhaps the better thing would to give better care. I mean, the care can't be that good if she is able to get pregant without anyone knowing!!!
Someone said:A mentally disabled woman, who is high functioning enough to live with moderate assistance is captured and raped. She becomes pregnant. She does not have an abortion, because she doesnt tell her care giver what happened, because that man told her not to. Four-six months later, she is showing. They think its just weight gain. 3.5 months later she breaks water and starts labor. Her caregiver rushes her to the hospital, and she gives birth.
No one knew she was pregnant, no one knew shed been raped. Yet she still gave birth. Now, all of this could have easily been stopped if her tubes had been tied. She would be sterile, and she would not have became pregnant from the rape.
The mentally disabled are rape material. They have been for years. Its sad, but true. Theyre raped by strangers and molested by family members. Its a sad, sad, truth, that most never realize.
Here we come to my point. The severely mentally disabled (suffering from incurable/uncontrollable diseases) should be made sterile. For their own good. They can not defend themselves from such attacks. Then some would never tell their caregivers that they were attacked/hurt.
Some of you may think of me as cruel, but I think Im a realist. This way, they wouldnt have to undergo an abortion, which may be as emotionally upsetting as the rape itself.
I look forward to the day where these things are unheard of. I look forward to the world where rape isnt a part of our vocabulary, because rape never happens. I look forward to this not being an issue, because no one would do these things. But we dont live there yet. We live here. And in living here, we must take our precautions.
