A rapist is even worse, but his offspring should pay for his crime? And not only pay for the scumbag's crime, but pay by being ripped limb from limb?

Moronic. Absolutely moronic.

I have no intention of trying to debate with you to determine who is right and who isnt. Your beliefs are just that, YOURS. However, may I suggest that rather than referring to anyone who's opinion differs than yours, as a moron etc. accept the cold, hard reality that this is not a cut and dry controversy. The variables are infinite.
So, Im going to guess that IF you were a woman, and had been raped and impregnated, you would give birth to that child? Thats a nice sentiment, but the truth is, that no one on this thread (or anywhere else for that matter) can or should be so judgemental unless they have been there.
I am very well aware that some women that have been in this situation and have opted to carry the baby rather than abort. God Bless them. Not all women are capable of doing that. For those women, ONLY God Himself will and should judge them. Not you, or anyone else. Im not talking about women who use abortion as a form of birth control, Im talking about women that have been brutally and horrifically violated. And YES, I understand that the end result is the same, the death of a child. But once again, nothing is black and white.
