It is essential to acknowledge the possible psychological trauma a woman may go through by carrying a child conceived from rape. This can potentially lead to long-term mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. For instance, consider a teenager who becomes pregnant as a result of rape. The physical, emotional, and psychological burden of carrying a child to term may be too much for someone so young to bear.
The argument about the foster system being broken only strengthens the pro-choice argument. It's not just about giving the child a chance at life, but also about ensuring that the child's life is worth living. If the system supposed to care for these children is fundamentally flawed, then it's not offering a better alternative.
What could be your suggestion to improve the foster system, keeping in mind that it would need to accommodate a potentially significant increase in children if abortion were restricted?
