I bring this up with all respect to all women in and out of the service and with all seriousness.

We now have brave women like her in combat or near combat and as seen they can be captured and be put under unspeakable horrors.

If she was violated, how do we who believe in the sanctity of all life deal with a pregnancy which may result?

Again this is with all respect and this thread may not be the place to discuss this. If this has been discussed before maybe I can be pointed to that thread.

Well, no one else seems to want to offer an opinion or comment, but I'll give mine.
I'm very pro-life myself. I believe that every life is sacred, yet there are instances, such as this, where I would, grudgingly, be tolerant of an abortion. Rape is a pretty good qualifier.
I think of the possibility of the child having to go through life with their mother constantly bringing her anger over the incident to bear on the the child. Most of the time it would probably be an unconcious act. A great many variances to go from off of that too. The mental state...such a tricky thing between different folks and unusual situations.
Anyway, I'd advocate or advise, if she were to turn up pregnant (and the military should've given her birth control pills if she was going anywhere near a combat zone because of situations just like this), placing the child up for adoption by the military. It happened during war and she is "their property" (vets know what I mean..."don't get sunburnt"...) Adoption is too seldom used as a primary choice.
I guess, ultimately, in the end, it's her choice and her decision and my opinions and choices are only mine to make, just like hers are. I personally wouldn't hold it against her in a case like this. It isn't like she would be using the abortion as a form of birth control, which is what all too many women see abortion as.

I was thinking about that myself yesterday.

C'mon, give the girl some space here.

In reference to your abortion question.

My response to that question is always

"If you want to kill sombody, kill the criminal rapist not the innocent child"

It's of my humble opinion that women don't belong in combat (in ANY capacity).
I'm also of the FIRM prolife belief that the baby is ALWAYS the innocent. If God forbid she turns up pregnant, I pray that she carries to term. The baby can be placed for adoption. It's too late for the morning after pill (someone mention that somewhere in this thread).

Someone stated in a different thread that it's very sad that we live in a country that would place 19 year old females into harms way. I must say that I agree wholeheartedly.

It's pretty simple. Give the baby up for adoption. Should the child die for the sin of his father? Besides, she will have enough problems without having the blood of this innocent child on her hands.

You don't need to deal witht he pregnancy.

If should not be of interest to you.

Let's hope that most of them have a good birth control like a depo-provera shot or the one that gets implanted in your arm.
