Although no one would have figured she had been through such a traumatic event during her summer vacation as she was going to eighth grade, she was raped. As Amber and her friend grew closer over the years the situations that were questioned about her when she was not around became clear.

It seems odd that the poll contained zero information about being pro-choice due to a rape incident. Creating life is not a gambling game, it is a serious issue. Killing life is not okay due to people’s inconsiderate actions. Abortions should be accessible to more or less rape victims, yet even at that being pro-life should be chosen.
