Rape, instrument of war

I saw an article about some raped Ukrainian women refusing refuge in Poland because they fear they won't be allowed to have abortions. Can't find it at the moment, but here's this.

Oh, my god, I hadn't considered that the victims might be denied abortions.

Haven't women suffered enough? So crazy!

Speaking of: same in Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky...

>3 southernbooklady:

IIRC it was an article where they talked about fourteen women pregnant from rape, nine of whom refused to go to Poland. The gist is the same everywhere, though. The ultimate horror.

>4 krazy4katz:

You'd be surprised to hear that women don't suffer enough. Ever since the war started there have been daily outpourings on feminist websites by dickheads about how feminists don't care about male-only draft.

Granted. My own emotional reaction was to the conditions of their imprisonment, the serial violence they survived, and the physical injuries they must have sustained, only to be faced with this further insult. All while knowing, in many cases, that their loved ones are dead and their homes destroyed.

If your first instinct is the suffering that your "loved ones" may have been hurt also, your "loved ones" are an afterthought.
