Why does the baby have to pay the ultimate price for the sin of its father?
You would make a woman walk around for 9 months pregnant and force her to raise a rapists child?
See my previous post- pregnancy is preventable AFTER unprotected sex and is probably the best option here. I could not tell a woman she has top spend the next 18 years raising a child she didnt want conceived by force.
I respect your opinion too, I am just saying I disagree
Why Abort it? They should profit from it. Let it be born and make it a slave. Or let it grow to maturity, then kill it to harvest its organs. I mean, it’s just the offspring of a rapist. The Bible never says we can’t harvest the organs of a rapist’s offspring.
“Why does the baby have to pay the ultimate price for the sin of its father?”
As a man and someone who will never be in this predicament, It’s hard to know the right answer to this. However, consider this:
In cases where the rape involved a physical assault, clearly the woman is justified in taking the life of the rapist to prevent the rape. If the woman is raped and conceives the child of the rapist, is the pregnancy not a continuation of the assault? One could argue that it is, since he left part of himself inside of her and it is growing as the cells divide.
That said, why would she NOT have a right to terminate the assault using deadly force?
I specifically said a physical assault. There are many kinds of rape.
This is Nigeria, not the US. Do you know about Boko Haram in that country. I think that is what Pastor Chris is alluding to without mentioning them directly. They not only bomb and urn churches and kill the congregants —they RAPE THE WOMEN BECAUSE THEY ARE INFIDELS!!!!. I am being easy on Pastor Chris on this one. In USA people shack up, go out for one night stands, have sex all over the place and many times the women gets pregnant —and even if she isn’t pregnant she cries rape, either because she got pissed off at the dude, or she was drunk and didn’t remember or many reasons. Abortion under these circumstances is different than in what occurs in Nigeria and to minority women in the Islamic world. It doesn’t make the act of abortion morality right —but I wouldn’t give a woman grief if she chose to do so in these circumstances.
