Actually, if ya' jus' gotta' kill somebody why not take the rapist out and execute him.
Maybe if we did, a lot more rape victims would not kill their babies. Just a thought.
And those of you in favor of killing the baby, please don't be so dumb as to point out killing the mom kills the baby, it's a rhetorical question.
In the Old Testament, this is exactly what would have happened. The rapist would have been stoned and the child and his/her mother would have lived.
Today we murder the innocent and protect the guilty in way too many cases.
Hildy is always out there pushing for death so she might be mollified
by the death of the rapist. My guess tho is that she'd prefer the
death of the innocent as she did when advocating for the death
of Terri Schindler.
