The author of this obviously does not know how traumatic a rape can be. The article should be honest and admit that in some cases, forcing a rape victim to have a child is not saving a life but swapping one life for another. I have seen this happen in real life.

And I have seen the opposite, where the rape victim abortee feels years of sorrow and anguish for the sin of abortion her parents chose for her.

There are no easy solutions. Killing an innocent child doesn't make the rape go away, it compounds one crime with another, and turns the victim into a predator.

The other thing is, if it is morally acceptable to abort a child that is the result of rape, logically it must be morally acceptable to abort any other child, as they are all equally human.

There is either a human being at stake, or not.

Well, then using your logic, if the mother cannot handle the pregnancy because it was caused by such an evil act and commits suicide because you will not allow the abortion, then you have caused two deaths.
