Ann was date-raped when she was only 17 years old and found out she was pregnant. Her parents pressured her into marrying her current boyfriend, or the date-rapist, to prevent family embarrassment and keep him out of jail. Ann’s boyfriend was told that beating her would cause a therapeutic abortion, so Ann was subjected to horrid treatment including throwing her against walls and choking her. When Ann left her boyfriend, she was not allowed to get an abortion, and her baby was born with extreme brain damage. She says “A simple legal abortion would have spared me so much anguish, so much torment and suffering… What was gained by laws that kept me pregnant against my will? Nothing, except the rapist got away with his crime”(Ann’s Story 1). Abortion is a highly debated topic which involves the termination of a pregnancy to best suit a mother’s situation. A fetus is comprised of sperm and eggs, which are most of the time disposed of naturally. A fetus, however is not a human being with rights until it is outside of the womb. Abortions must remain legal because women should be able to have control of what they do with their bodies, there is a difference between religion/ beliefs and law, and abortion is inevitable so keeping it legal would be safer.

One of the aspects that can lead a women to commit a crime is their upbringing. Living in an inadequate neighborhood, surrounded by crime, gangs, and drugs are factors that can lead a women into crime. In the case of Tabatha Rowley her upbringing and past life, pushed her into committing assault in the first degree. In my opinion, I believe she assaulted her victim because it was a defense mechanism. tabatha was forced into this crime because she has had a previous history of domestic violence from other men and it is all she experienced all her life. She believed that if she did not react now he was going to kill her instead. while tabatha completed her sentence, she learned how to love herself again. with a special treatment after jail, i believe she can be reintegrated into society and be productive.

‘It is injustice with innocent people and she can’t forgive them. She is angry at them’. She also added that, ‘this cannot happen to any other person like his child, as she feels for everyone.’
