If you wife, sister or daughter got raped by a thug do you want them to carry the child? How about if you son raped his sister? I am against abortion except for rape and insect. Absolutism can be very destructive.
Certainly.
I am against abortion except for rape and insect. Absolutism can be very destructive.
And compromise is disgusting. You'd murder some children but not others, by your arbitrary standard.
Yes, especially since abortion adds to the trama and psychological damage of the rape. The idea that committing murder is somehow going to help a rape victim has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
No how about you answer my question: Why do you want to punish the child for the sins of the Father?
So--the answer to the trauma that the woman has already gone through, is to add to her burden by having her kill the child?
Perhaps it would ease the effect of the trauma a little bit if the woman was able to give the gift of a child to a childless couple who desperately want one.
So you're against rape and incest, but you think murder of a baby is OK.
You think this reflects balanced moral priorities?
you nailed it there.
>>I am against abortion except for rape and insect.
How many insects get raped, and where would they get an abortion anyway?

Me too. We should turn them over to the Orkin Man.
Ronald Maximus Reagan agreed with you.
Well if we're using personal examples....I am the descendant of a rapist.
You know, she survived the rape. A beautiful, strong, vibrant, loving woman, raising a child on her own, the child of a man who dragged her into the woods and raped her.
Would I have rather she be spared that pain and I not exist? That's kind of like asking black people if they're grateful for slavery because at least they get to live in America now. If I could ask her, I know for sure what the God-fearing woman's answer would be.
Killing the child does not erase the rape. It just adds violence to violence.
And maybe you think I'm radical, but even if killing the child COULD somehow magically erase the evil rape, it would still be 100% wrong. It's wrong to harm an innocent to make someone else feel better.
There would be a SPECIAL place in heaven to the woman that gives life to a child after being raped.....the same place in heaven where mothers that die in childbirth......total selflessness.........SAINTHOOD.
I also would want the rapist put to death. Rape is a crime guilty of death. Have the baby alive and run a DNA test to have 100 percent genetic proof of the rapist, and then execute him. He'll never rape again.
You probably wouldn't enjoy reading the Bible. It might be too much absolutism for you to handle.
I would answer yes!!To kill a child no matter what, is STILL murdering a innocent one. Who are we to call the shots? that is in God's control.I hardly think God would say " oh sure, go ahead and destroy that one"!!!
