I’m not as hard-line as some people here who believe in no abortion for any reason.
I don’t believe a woman who is raped should have to carry that child; and I don’t believe that a woman whose health is endangered should have to go through it either.
What if your wife or daughter were raped? What if they developed a life-threatening problem as a result of pregnancy?
Sorry, but I don’t believe that any circumstance in life is absolutely subject to the same answer for everyone.
What I can’t stomach is the profligate murder of babies simply because people are irresponsible or don’t want the result of their own actions. And I don’t like it when they call it a ‘blob of cells’ instead of recognizing that it really is a human child.
Well, studies have shown that rapees are the likeliest, outside of religious believers, to desire abortion feeling that it is wrong to reply to a crime by killing a third party that did not commit the crime. Victims of rape are more often forced into abortion by boyfriends or family and the damage to their psyches is permanent. They are much more apt to regard the abortion as a second crime against themselves and their babies and as punishment for getting raped.
I get you.
A woman who has been raped and became pregnant from the tragedy is in a different position than I will ever be in, however, she will not be un-raped by being party to the murder of the innocent child she is carrying. That nightmare will be with her all her days. She will be additionally stuck with the guilt of taking its life when it is the rapist who should be executed.
Complications of pregnancy will obviously have to be considered as per each case.
Those two aforementioned extenuating circumstances are a teeny tiny portion of “abortions on demand”, as I’m sure you are aware. THAT is what this is all about.
