litmus test? Really?
Rape is a crime. A pregnancy that results from a Rape is not a “gift” from God to the victim, but may in fact be a “gift from God to another family”. The simple fact reamins that the LIFE is still a LIFE.. and killing the baby that did not have a say in the matter should also be a crime... in my view... sadly our current law does not recognize the innocent child as a life with the same God Given, and constitutional protections of the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness you and I enjoy.
God forbid if my wife or daughter was a victim of a rape which resulted in her being pregnant by the criminal I am confident that the child, which will likely be born 9 months later deserves the same right to life most likely would be placed for adoption to give the child a “clean slate” in life.
Sorry no simple yes or no for that loaded question.
