Isn't forcing a woman who was raped to give birth to the product of that act impedeing on her right to pursue happiness?

So is wanting a girl and being pregnant with a boy. I know this is an incredibly emotional issue for you and for me. I simply cannot find justification to kill a human being just because it is small. A 2 year old is small and still developing. The product of rape is a terrible thing, but it is not common. I will think more on this subject, but I do not think this rare occurrance should penalize 45 million deaths which this country has inflicted on the unborn, nor should that hypothetical dictate the countries position on abortion as a nation.

Actually, the RAPIST by the act of RAPE is the impediment to her pursuit of happiness. We should kill a kid for the crimes of the father? No where near anything this country stands for...

many laws impede on our 'right to pursue happiness.' I'm sure rapist don't like laws punishing them.

The issue is to not hurt more people. That includes the child of a rapist.
