Thanks for your response. Rape is a sticky subject to say the least. But, for pro-lifers like ourselves, I feel there is no room to bend. Research after research is showing that abortion is harmful to women and indeed bad for society. What may be a horrible situation now (pregnant by rape) may be a blessing in disguise 20 years later. Or in other words, time heals all wounds, and the child no matter how conceived is innocent. In the event the mother (or her husband) cannot handle living with the child, adoption is the only alternative. Murder of an innocent child is never morally acceptable.

Well said in your defense of rape.

All too often we want to take a look at the consequences of the woman when when something like rape takes place. (In other words the rape needs to be dealt with, and so lets destroy the baby...)

Rape is horrible no doubt about it, but to want to destroy the unborn for this despicable act, seems to make a grave problem even worse. You're right... lets look at adoption as the alternative.
