Rape victims 'must have abortions'

Monday, 31 December, 2007

Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning has ruled that any woman who becomes pregnant as a result of rape must undergo an abortion.

The Islamic Research Council of Cairo-based Al-Azhar has declared immediate terminations are essential to maintain "social stability".

Egyptian law bans abortion except on the grounds of "necessity", which includes instances when a woman's life or health is in danger, or in cases of fetal abnormality.

But Al-Azhar has called for changes to such regulations .

Doctor's permission

"A raped woman must terminate the pregnancy immediately upon learning of the pregnancy if a trusted doctor gives her clearance for the abortion," the institution said.

The independent Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights says an average of two women are raped every hour in Egypt.

Experts say many factors contribute to high levels of rape and sexual harassment, including rising unemployment, the huge cost of marriage and the fact that sex outside marriage is forbidden.

“Rape victims ‘must have abortions’”

Is that before or after the rape victim is stoned?

[Stoat]

For the West to attempt any interaction with Islam on an equal footing is akin to doing the same with a nest of vipers....it’s beyond logic and reason. The appropriate thing to do is to kill the vipers so that the region is safe for humanity.

[Thumper1960]

Let me guess. The raped would be whipped, beaten, tortured, stoned, hanged and/or otherwise brutalized by the learned men of islam before or after she's been forced to submit to the abortion.

islam is a cancer. The "civilized" West had better come to the stark realization that this gutter "religion" must be extinguished by any means necessary before it kills the world.

“No wonder libs love these people. NO life is sacred”

Yes and it is the liberal political correct social policies that have led to the moral decline in this country. And when that happens, it only helps Islam to recruit more suicide bombers. It sounds like the liberals and Islam have a marriage made in heaven.

[rodeo-mamma]

“So now a Muslim man can rape with impunity, and not even have to worry about having to marry the girl to maintain his progeny”

I guess it should be a given that this new abortion law is meant to benefit the men. We already understand the value of women in their society. It’s only to protect the guys. This will encourage even more rapes. It’s like letting the perverts off the hook, which I am sure is the real intention of the law! Their religion is so crazy, no wonder they have produced an entire generation of men who are mental.

“Did she explain why?”

Yes. Her husband only wanted one son, so she was forced by her evil husband to abort all of the other children. I got to know here very well and I felt she was brainwashed by her cult-religion and was a virtual slave to her husband.

[TNdandelion]

Whoa!! THey are gonna let her live after being raped? Or maybe this is some kind of honor-killing/abortion combo they are proposing.

[Stoat]

Whoa!! THey are gonna let her live after being raped?

Oh, they'll find a way to "legally" kill her eventually, one way or another.  After all, having her walking around alive is a continual insult to the 'honor' of the rapist, who, under Islam, is innocent.

[Stoat]

Her husband only wanted one son, so she was forced by her evil husband to abort all of the other children. I got to know here very well and I felt she was brainwashed by her cult-religion and was a virtual slave to her husband.

What an utterly crushing, heart-rending story.  One naturally wonders how many millions of times this same story, or worse, is repeated throughout the islamic world.

"sigh"

Egypt doesn’t jail, stone or flog women for being raped. They go after the rapist. In the rural areas there may be the occasional family “honor” killing, though.

Thanks

... she was forced by her evil husband to abort all of the other children

Gee, aren't we lucky to live in a country where abortion is legal and women are in control of their own bodies?
