I say abort the rapist. Why kill an innocent that has committed no crime?

That's not the question. The question is, do we want to punish a woman who has been raped, remember her of that horrific act every day, and force her to bear the child of her rapist. Now I don't know about you, but I find that to be disgusting.

This is just an outdated argument of the Left. Virtually everywhere in America, any woman (including victims of rape) can get morning-after drugs to stop a pregnancy. In fact, they work very similarly to being on the Pill.

Don't sit there ignorantly bleating the pro-infanticide position and pretending that this is the Fifties or the Sixties. Back then, abortion was considered necessary by some because of the unreliability of condoms and diaphrams and spermicidal jellies. Today, it is very very different. And we also know that the signs of human life appear much much earlier than anyone knew at that time.

Roe simply would not be so radical if it were to be decided today. It is an inhuman ruling, based on flawed information about fetal development and assumptions about the reliability of existing birth control methods.

But executing an innocent child for the crime of her father ... you're okay with that.

But rape is a red herring anyway. Ban every abortion that's not the result of rape, and you've banned 98% or more of them. That's a fine start.

While you are at it, might as well let the women kill the 5 yearold she had with that no good ex-husband that turned out to be abusive. Would not want to remind her of that. She has a right not to be reminded so feel free to chop the kid up and flush it.

Study after study has shown that women who have aborted are much more likely to have mental and emotional problems, and those problems are directly caused by having aborted a child.

Better emotionally and mentally for the woman to bear the child and give it up for adoption than to live with knowing she murdered an innocent child for the sins of someone else.

She has to remember it for 9 months. We're sorry -- it IS disgusting. But aborting an innocent child only compounds my disgust.

Maybe. But I find the murder of an innocent even more disgusting.

Bearing the child of a rapist, though certainly no piece of cake, would no more be a punishment by the state than the rape was.
