I have fallen into a discussion with a girl on my course over facebook. She put quite an offensive status claiming that women who have abortions are murderers. It has come to the subject of rape survivors, with her insisting that even after a rape, women should understand biology enough to know that they need to take emergency contraception. I pointed out that she was basically placing the blame for an unwanted pregnancy resulting from rape on the victim and that her point didn't stand because the victims of rape are often left traumatised and unable to even get out of bed, let alone seek emergency contraception. I was wondering if anyone knows any good statisitcs or articles I could cite to back up this point?
