We’ve just went through 8 pregnancies.
3 miscarriages.
5 happy, healthy girls.
So I know what I’m talking about when it comes to pregnancy and having babies.
Pregnancy is tough, miserable and at times frightening.
The 1 of the 3 miscarriages had us rushing to the emergency room with surgery recommended. My wife’s last 2 pregnancies were awful on her. If my wife were to get pregnant again, it probably would put her in the hospital.
My friend’s wife just had a baby and she had to be rushed to the ER, and her pregnancy was absolutely miserable. She’s lethargic, miserable and wiped out.
Pregnancy can KILL YOU.

I just don’t get this kind of reasoning. Forcing a loved one to not take a pill after she’s raped and forcing her to potentially get pregnant. Putting her health and life and future at risk. And yet, isn’t Scripture replete with verses that a person’s nature carries through their blood. So far, no one’s presented a good enough argument to convince me otherwise.

First, you know what you have experienced regarding pregnancy. Not everyone has the same experience. Many, many women enjoy pregnancy. My mother had seven children without any complications.

Second, most women today do not die in childbirth. IIRC, the number is 10 out of 100,000 in countries such as ours.

Third, who on this thread is talking about "forcing a woman to not take a pill and forcing her to potentially get pregnant"?

“Third, who on this thread is talking about “forcing a woman to not take a pill and forcing her to potentially get pregnant”?”

Well apparently quite a few here think that if a woman gets raped she has no right to take the pill to prevent pregnancy. They feel she should be forced to carry a pregnancy in the case of RAPE.
