So you think an abortion would cause the child no pain either physical or psychologic?
If an adult impregnates her, and another adult takes her to have a living being ripped out of her body, which rape is worse?
A delivery may cause temp pain, most of which can be alleviated by anesthetics. An abortion causes life long guilt and pain. I know which I would choose for my 14 year old daughter, God forbid we would find ourselves in that position.

I said no such thing, please don't put words in my mouth.

I do believe that having a 12 to 16 year old carrying the child of her rapist or (some relative) is far more cruel and abusive than having a 10 minute surgical procedure and one-week recovery, no matter how ugly that latter choice might be.

In fact it actually sounds like some sort of psychological torture.

If an adult impregnates her, and another adult takes her to have a living being ripped out of her body, which rape is worse?

If an adult rapes a 12 to 16 year oolld child, and that child is taken for a surgical procedure by caring people within a short period of time, I'd say the rapist deserves life in the slammer, the child needs to be cared for and comforted for many years, and the parents and physician have made very painful choices to reduce the long-term trauma done to their child.

The more I think about this, the crueler and more heartless your moral code sounds.

IMO Jesus Christ would provide forgiveness to all but the rapist.
