Not only that, but forcing someone by law to bear the result of an injustice doesn’t ring well with me in a free country. If the girl in that situation had an illegal abortion of a rape/incest baby, what would we do, throw her in jail?
I haven’t even speculated the unintended consequences of liberals twisting such a law to their ends.
I hope she’d keep the baby, encourage her to do so, and provide her adoption options, but I wouldn’t make a law mandating her to do so.
Actually, they've been doing just that for over thirty years now. Rape and incest has been pretty much their only justification in the abortion debate for decades. They conveniently for get to add that rape and incest make up less than two percent of all abortions. Obviously the majority of rapes do not result in pregnancy, and many victims choose to carry the baby to term. I suspect, but don't know, that a few years later 100% of them report that the baby (not the rape of course) was the best thing that ever happened to them.
NARL and others used to wave wire hangers, scream about the all the teenagers who died in botched abortions (never significant figures in the abortion dabate). Now, they've so completely won that argument that (if you live in some states) your 13 year-old can walk in a clinic and get a free abortion and the people involved risk going to jail if they do the right thing and let you know.
Since abortion is a species of murder, it remains murder even when the murderer is a victim of another crime herself.
However, victims of rape who commit an abortion have reason to expect clemency. I believe they should be dealt with very leniently.
So you would turn her from an unwilling victim to a willing accomplise in the murder of her own unborn child...
make someone else a victim so she feels better...
Make her a perp so her suffering and victim days will end
“forcing someone by law to bear the result of an injustice doesn’t ring well with me in a free country.”
I agree, as long as you don’t have to kill anyone that is innocent of the injustice. Like the unborn person.
