Many are upset about the bill, believing it changes the definition of rape and websites like grants4teachers.com and field trip grants. One out of every 25 is unfair towards women. One line states only pregnancies resulting from “forcible teacherscount.org where a multitude of schools throughout the U.S. can send a rape” will be allowed to be aborted, leaving many to question whether date rape or grants are available for any educator. statutory rape pregnancies will be included (foxnews.com). Date rape is defined as “sexual intercourse forced by the victim’s social escort” while statutory rape is defined Jeff Piper teaches his seventh period ceramics art class as sexual intercourse between two persons, one below the age of legal consent. following his field trip to the Butler Art Institute. Statutory rape is not always forced, causing many people to wonder whether pregnancies resulting from this form of rape will be banned. If these forms of rape are not included in the exception to the bill, many females of child-bearing age will be denied abortions caused by scarring events. In addition to possibly having to deal with depression or other conditions cause by rape, these women may also be saddled with unwanted children that can greatly affect their lives. Many people speculate that if the bill is passed, women will turn to illegal and possibly dangerous sources for their abortions. Anti-abortion laws may not necessarily curb abortions and could make abortion more risky for women. Most abortions are performed in sterile clinics under safe conditions with limited harm to the mother; however, this may not be true if abortions are outlawed.
