We wouldn’t want anyone to be “punished” with a child would we?
As a male who has raised another man’s child, I can say that you don’t see anyone else’s face in the eyes of a child. I certainly never did, despite the child looking like the natural father.
Good for him.
My mother used to say, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
Yep, I heard that one a lot too.
Short of murder, rape is the most violently intrusive, , soul-debasing act of violence and humiliation that could ever be committed against a woman. And to bear the child of a violent sexual predator who violated you is respectful to your husband? This woman id a freakin’ loon.
So you want to show respect for one human being by murdering another? Does that make sense? Would you want to burden your husband with the knowledge that you caused the death of an innocent child in order to show respect for him?
Agree, he was almost ignored during the debate, but when he answered a question, it wasn’t a dodge em duck em answer..I liked him the best...
The fact that we don’t kill the children of others is one of the things that separates us from the animals.
I’ll let lions kill cubs for the “pride” but a real man loves a child as his own regardless of the circumstances that led to its conception.
God doesn’t create those little souls with the intent that they be killed to stroke someone’s pathetic ego.

Rebecca is speaking at one of our Magnificat breakfasts in Pittsburgh this winter. I can’t wait to meet her.
“Short of murder, rape is the most violently intrusive, , soul-debasing act of violence and humiliation that could ever be committed against a woman.”
Good point. What is it for a baby?
Good post. Right on target.
Exactly. I'm not sure if there's anything more violent than being torn apart limb by limb and suctioned out of what was supposed to be a place of safety and love.
I don;’t recall advocating ‘’murdering ‘’ children of rape. Clearer Bronx in 78-81 and remember a place like that some where in Fordham. I confess I suppose to be over whelmed by the .. assault on any women , married or other wise and the resulting pregnancy that can/does occur. Long ago happened to a woman friend of mine . Her hus it. ( her and I later became lovers). Sorry. Guessing I wasn’t thinking objectivly.
“No woman should have to re-live the experience of being raped every time she looks at a child that was forced upon her.”
AND: if children share the genetics of their parents, then you have a child who stands a higher probability of being a rapist. Children of incest, meanwhile, can be concentrators of recessive genes, potentially ending up like European royalty.
Rand Paul had an outstanding answer to this question when asked by Bill O’Reilly on 05/19/10.
Short version:
Rand Paul — “[When] life begins, then i think you have individual rights and the individual right of the child comes into play. So then the circumstances of the pregnancy are really separate from that individual life.”

Unfortunately, most Americans don’t dedicate sufficient time to fully developing a position on topics even as significant as this. They then default to short-sighted, emotional, shallowly empathetic positions like, “I’m against abortion... except for rape.”
***
Long version:
Bill O’Reilly — “Would you make abortions illegal? Would there be any abortions allowed in the United States?
Rand Paul — “I will take all approaches, state, local and federal to try to prohibit abortion. Yes.”
Bill O’Reilly — “Even in the case of rape, incest, and catastrophic health to the mom?”
Rand Paul — “The difficulty with abortion, with determining when life begins is that it is a difficult determination. But once you determine that life begins, then i think you have individual rights and the individual right of the child comes into play. So then the circumstances of the pregnancy are really separate from that individual live.”
Horsecrap.
FYI -
American Life League (ALL) is another longstanding and well-managed organization with a wealth of research and facts on abortion, as well as other life issues such as euthanasia, stem cell research and contraception.
Anytime you fall into a position of playing God---deciding which innocent baby should live and which should die, you are walking down a very slippery slope.
