Seems to me you're the angry one here. I have nothing but admiration for your decision. But I also have compassion on a rape victim who cannot muster the incredible strength it must take to carry a child for nine months knowing it was not conceived with her consent and always living with the pain and anger of being violated. Yes - I know, you and others here will say, "Well what about compassion for the unborn baby..." Yes, it's a terrible decision to have to make. And we'll never agree. I feel that it is not a decision that should be forced on someone who has already been victimized. And in the end it's for God to judge.
well-- if you want to label me angry.. nothing I can do about that.....
you assume I have no compassion for a rape victim?
that is silly and ridiculous... compassion is not enabling.... there is a difference...
it does take strength to carry a child of rape...sometimes we are called to do tough things that we have not signed up for.. this doesn't excuse murder, dear... it just doesn't...
you will live with the pain and anger of being violated weather or not you kill your child.. killing your child will not ease the pain.....
in fact.. there is nothing more healing than seeing the beauty that comes from such pain....
I actually think it is more compassionate to let a woman live with the fact that she DID choose life.... much more compassionate than letting her live with the ugly truth and secret that she chose what seemed like the easy way at the time.... the pain and anger gets misdirected to her innocent child.. as if destroying it is destroying the pain... that, my dear, is a lie no woman should be sold...
