So you are saying there is nothing wrong with the practice...after all, you have no idea if, or how often, such situations will turn out like your friend's. Don't you find your position somewhat doctrinaire?

I said no such thing. Therefore your question is irrelevent.

You are choosing to make an absolutist statement, I'm saying because there are exceptions to the rule the abosolutist ideal of all children conceived of rape should be placed for adoption is wrong.

I said no such thing.

The implications are inescapable. You might as well maintain your choice to go swimming does not mean you are willing to get wet.

And as for absolutist statements, perhaps I was a bit premature. It is becoming increasingly obvious you DON"T understand your condemnation of absolutism IS absolutism.

There is no philosophical difference between claiming one speaks for God, and claiming one DOES NOT speak for God. The only way to verify either claim is to actually BE speaking for God.
