Think deeply about it.

Why is killing an innocent child a good way to solve the problem? The mother will live the rest of her life knowing that she murdered an innocent child. It will (and does!) only add to her burden.

Two, there are countless married couples who are waiting to adopt babies.

Three, it is senseless and the height of injustice to punish the innocent. What to speak of unspeakably cruel. Can you think of any other crime in which the victim is executed?

Add to that the fact that many women would falsely claim “rape” to be eligible for a rape allowed abortion.

The number of women who get pregnant from rape is small. All kinds of support could be (and no doubt would or is right now) provided by private charities for their pregnancy and birth expenses as well as emotional and if desired, spiritual support. And adoptive parents found for the baby.

Ask any person who was conceived from rape if they would rather have been killed and see what their answers are.

Little jeremiah, there really is no good way to solve this problem.

It’s a terrible situation, a choice I would never want to face. It is entirely the fault of the rapist for causing it.

If a woman falsely claims rape, then that is very different. She will have to live with that action. That is not something that I would support at all.

I understand fully that people conceived of rape would not rather have been killed, and as I said, if a woman chooses to have that baby, then I support her. However, I am not going to force her to do that.

If she says no, then she says no.
