The woman had no choice in getting pregnant, and is under no obligation to do anything against her will. If it makes you feel better, have the rapist executed for murdering the child, as he bears the ultimate responsibility.
My brother sends me daily emails tweaking me about the South Dakota business. It amuses him. My other brother tells me that parents should be able to off a baby up to 90 days old, per a "right of return" policy. I am still not quite sure if he is totally serious, as opposed to being provactive. It doesn't work. I maintain my sang froid. Adoption? Nope. There are too many folks on the planet says he. But then he lives in the Bay area. There is something in the water up there. Such is life.
Luckily for me and the country President Bush will be President until January 2009.
One HECK of a bigger accomplishment than you, eh?
Peach and Hildy supporting abortion, I'm shocked, shocked!!!
In all seriousness, I am too. And their logic is pretty weak.
Amen.
"And if that 17 year old was raped by her father...?"
Even worse, but I believe that once the sperm and egg make an embryo a person is alive, and it has rights. Those rights cannot be taken by anyone for any reason, sorry thats how freedom works baby.
A cop killing when the criminal pulls a gun on him is not O.K. with you then either? Good thing you aren't running the laws.
Johnny - Great minds thing partly alike in this case anyway. I just posted almost word for word your quote above only to see your post.
I am surprised Free Republic allows Pro-Abortion people on the forum. People have been banned for MUCH less. heh
have you ever spoken to a rape victim?
I don't mean in passing, I mean in your family?
I have, and at some level the trauma will never fully leave her.
To force her to carry some some sick-twisted man's seed strikes me as compounding the pain and cruelty.
All I can honestly do is hope this sort of thing never confronts your family.
Ya, but it is getting the paranoid on this issue, more paranoid. We need Roe to stop the nutters they say. Democracy is relative.
So, you are "reading between the lines" too?
Thanks for being a voice of reason. Time to split.
Don't be stuck on stupid...we are talking about abortion not cops and robbers. Nice try though. geesh
I can't imagine many who are so foolish that they think there is nothing to be upset about.
It is a truely horrible thing. But the woman is still alive and has every opportunity to get through it. It has been done before. Life isn't fair and it never will be completely fair. But it can be just. And killing someone just to make things easier is murder, any way you look at it.
