Denton, Ryan, Bartle, Vanderpuije, and Brown.
There is nothing which justifies terminating a life. It is not the unborn child's fault that their father was a monster or their mother a rape victim. The only thing aborting such a child would do is create 2 victims where there had been 1.
Easy pronouncement when you aren’t the one carrying the rapists baby.
I was a victim of sexual abuse as a little child so please don’t get self righteous with me. A life is a life, period.
Don’t care about your personal issues, and your the one being oh so self righteous.
Its easy to make that ‘call’ when it isn’t your kid knocked up by a rapist.
So kill the innocent baby?!? Aborting the baby would be far more of a scar than giving birth to it and giving it up for adoption. I’m glad you aren’t my parent.
Thank God the girl didn’t live in a country where individuals can own firearms. She could have hurt someone.
Its so easy when you aren’t the one pregnant with the rapists child.
We understand each others viewpoint, no need to continue.
I pray to God that decision never falls upon anyone in my family or anyone I know.
If the fear of prosecution and punishment doesn't faze the barbarians, perhaps their families, facing the same fates, would be motivated to deal with their rancid offspring.
Thank God the girl didn’t live in a country where individuals can own firearms. She could have hurt someone.
We both agree on that one.
I tend to agree with your view there. Note that I did not argue for her to have an abortion if pregnant.
My belief that all life is sacred, and my belief that human life begins at conception, informs my opinions about abortion.
My belief in the right of all people to freedom and self-determination informs my opinion about the proper extent of the law as it applies to the actions of free people.
Abortion, as a legal and social issue, is exceedingly complex and reasonable people will disagree.
Abortion, as a personal, moral, ethical issue, is to me perfectly clear. It is the killing of a human being, whether that is nine months or one day after conception, and all other considerations must acknowledge that simple fact.
