Does this mean that you would deny D&C treatment for someone who was raped? I am very much a pro-life, anti-abortion person, but I have a more philosophical view of conception. I do not accept that rape is “conception”. That may not jibe with a “personhood” concept or be acceptable to many other religious people who would push for absolutes. Sorry if that’s too mystical for others, that’s how I see it.

It does, indeed. Situational ethics does not apply in my book in any way, shape or form.
Rape is a trauma and a tragedy, but a child is not.
I have a cousin who was raped, became pregnant, and had the child. I would never dream of telling that little girl that she was never conceived, or is less of a person because she is the direct result of the rape of her mother.
“Does this mean that you would deny D&C treatment for someone who was raped?”
There are several in the pro-life movement that would by force of law, FORCE that rape victim to bear her rapists child. I am not one of these people however I can understand why they feel the way they do.
Should you be hung if your Father commits murder?

I have read that a D&C is an acceptable procedure for rape BEFORE conception takes place.
Once coneption takes place, you are killing a little person, and of course, that is wrong.
No one should receive the death penalty for the crime of their
father!
