until they're pretty far along. But I was talking about people who know they're pregnant and have the option to terminate. At some point a decision is made whether or not to carry the fetus to term, whether it's parents deciding or a grown woman. That's what I meant when I say "decide." Of course the raped child has no choice in the matter.
