So you would say to the person I know, “tough, you carry it.” I understand that it is innocent life, but in the moments after the act, when it isn’t a viable fetus, given such a crime of rape (and rape by the victim’s own father !), I consider it equally as reprehensible to tell a crime victim that they will be further punished beyond the initial act for something that they didn’t ask for. There’s no good in any of this, but if the rights of a victim comes second to a small clump of cells well before viability, you’ve given the feminist radicals all the ammo they will ever need to keep the abortion mills going full tilt.
...And as I already stated, you would have to prove you were the victim of rape. Now, if you want to counsel young women to consider carrying to term the product of rape or incest, go right ahead, but it should go no further than personal persuasion. But on every other front, where the excuse is “it’s just inconvenient”, and no crime was committed (except that of stupidity), that is no excuse.
It’s not a clump of cells, it’s a developing human being.
I find it reprehensible that you would consider abortion and answer to her problem. I have counseled young women who have had abortions. It isn’t an answer. It ADDS to the the problems they were facing.
Alot of women who have abortions become depressed, suicidal, promiscious, addicted to alcohol and drugs etc. A woman who has been raped is standing on the edge; adding abortion to her emotional problems is pushing her over the edge.
ABORTION IS NOT A REMEDY EVEN FOR RAPE.
AND I WOULD NEVER SAY “TOUGH YOU CARRY IT” Your argument (abortion for rape) is what got us this unlimited access to abortion that we have now (remember Roe V Wade). She claimed that she was raped but was not.
Slippery slope with the viable fetus argument. If that is the case, most babies can’t survive before 22/23 weeks even with medical intervention. Is is still okay then?
“if the rights of a victim comes second to a small clump of cells well before viability”
What right does she have that supersedes the rights of the baby that is growing insider her. You are saying that her “right” to an abortion (which doesn’t actually exist) supersedes the rights of the child to LIFE (which is an actual right).
