During an appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan, GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul was asked whether as a man with daughters and granddaughters, Rep. Paul (R-TX) thinks that abortion is warranted if a woman has been impregnated by a rapist.
“If it’s an honest rape,” Paul replied, “that individual should go immediately to the emergency room, I would give them a shot of estrogen.” He claimed, however, that if a woman is “seven months pregnant” and says that she was raped, “It’s a little bit of a different story.” Source
I don’t support enslaving/incarcerating the rape victim for the crime of having been raped so that she may be blessed with the result of that rape. She just doesn’t know what she needs, right? It’s a good thing the rest of us know for her, isn’t it?
I support allowing her to make her own decision.
It takes two to three days for sperm to meet egg. She’s raped, she reports it immediately and once the rape is confirmed in the ER and is counseled takes a pill before impregnation occurs.
If you want to tell me that stopping a pregnancy BEFORE it happens in a rape victim is the murder of a baby then I have to no longer talk to you about this subject as I try not to converse with crazy people.
AN EVIL MAN, INDEED.
It is one thing to be a normal fallen man . . . desperately in need of the Lord’s Salvation.
It is quite another to be willfully given over to the arrogance and demonized possession of the evil lord and his minions.
. . . and then to exalt in such evil . . .
May The Lord God Almighty cause to speedily fall in the pits they have dug for the rest of us . . . all who willfully choose such an evil course . . . such an evil walking death.
“Now, a question for you. Why do you feel an innocent unborn baby conceived in an act of rape is not worth defending?”
I don’t believe that a fertilized human egg is anymore a person on day one than a fertilzed chicken egg is a chicken on day one.

What’s the point?
Human life is sacred, regardless of our concepts of time.
How about this one for the slippery slope you are on. A husband wants to have sex with his wife. She says NO. Husband’s lust must be filled so he rapes her. A baby is produced. Should that baby be aborted?
The point is that you know damned well when human life begins. It’s self-evident. You just don’t care about equal protection of the unalienable rights of all.
Life begins at conception, NOT “implantation”.
And the same chemical messes which claim to prevent conception can wind up preventing implantation - interfering post-conception - which is the murder of a newly-conceived baby.
Pure ignorance.
Do you eat fertilized chicken eggs for breakfast?
Or maybe you're ignorant of how unpleasant that would be, too.
*******************************
It may not be what you might define as a person, but a "fertilized human egg" is still human, a human being, near the beginning of its life cycle.
If it isn't a chicken, what, pray tell, is it? You think it might be an orangutan?
If the fertilized egg is not a person, then what the hell is it?
If it's not a person, why are you opposed to abortion at all?
Let me explain what will happen with this so-called "rape exception":
The number of reported rapes will go from around 80,000 to well over a million and this will happen immediately. Not a single life will be saved and abortion will continue unabated. Some phony anti-abortionists will pat themselves on the back, but they will have accomplished NOTHING because a women will simply have to claim rape before she kills a baby.
Now for the other downside, with the skyrocket in the number of rapes being reported police will become increasingly desensitized to rape and will begin to view it as a technicality designed to allow abortion. The police will begin to investigate rape less and less, criminals will become aware of this and the number of ACTUAL RAPES will increase.
People like you and Paul and all of these others promote these "and then you can kill the baby" laws in an attempt to silence the pro-life movement. You have NO INTENTION of ever actually ending abortion, what you want to end is the pro-life movement.
First, it is life.
Second, irrefutably, it is human life. It is not dog life, or cow life, or even gorilla life. It is human life.
And if it weren’t alive, they wouldn’t have to kill it.
Excellent points, and well said.
Exactly right.
Is a condom a murder weapon?
I think that would be up to the rape victim.;
“Should that baby be aborted?”
I think that would be up to the rape victim.
“If it isn’t a chicken, what, pray tell, is it?”
An egg.
