jwalsh07,

You are absolutely correct.

It is God that gives life AT CONCEPTION and he commands us to protect it.

He gives no exceptions to that rule.

While I can only guess at the extreme pain that those who have been raped or suffered through incest have to endure I have to ask the following question:

In the final analysis, which is worse:

1. Death (or Murder in this case).
2. Or having to endure the pain, suffering, and ignominy of Rape or Incest.

>>>In the final analysis, which is worse:
>>>1. Death (or Murder in this case).
>>>2. Or having to endure the pain, suffering, and ignominy of Rape or Incest.

So you are also opposed to the death penalty, to military actions of all kinds (including for self-defense), and the use of deadly force by law enforcement?

As you say, “He gives no exceptions to that rule.

Bear in mind that we are not discussing whethere life begins at conception, or not. That’s a different argument that you should have with other people. I fully accept that the fetus conceived in a rape on a teen girl is a life nonetheless.

I’ll even concede that it’s murder to abort the fetus of a rapist from a teen victim.

Where we depart is here: I would bite the bullet and recognize that this is a fetus conceived in violence and that it is therefore an affront to God. It certainly is an affront to the victim. Every moment that fetus remains in the teen’s womb is not merely an unpleasant reminder of the original rape, but literally a continuation of it.

You are absolutely correct.

Ha! I've never been absolutely correct. Ask my bride of 38 years. ;-}
