There are two lives at stake here, not one. When and how can it be just to ask or grant the consent of one person at the cost of taking the life of an innocent other? The injustice of the unintended pregnancy does not and cannot justify the murder of the other innocent victim of the crime. One injustice does not make another injustice morally acceptable.
The right to life of the innocent comes before any notion of consent. Being an innocent victim of rape does not confer the right to take the life of the other innocent victim of the same crime.
You are the victim of a very pernicious and diabolical form of propaganda, yet you think your position to have some sort of merit.
It does not.
Murder is a more grave crime than rape. If this were not the case capital punshnent would equally apply to both.
Being a victim of rape does not justify being the initiator of the murder of the innocent.
And yes, abortion is murder.
No it doesn't. The right of the mother to consent to being impregnated was denied before the child was conceived.

No, I am not. I arrived at my position via my own thought process and nothing else, and my position does have merit.

I believe the crimes are equivalent in their severity. Man's law is not perfect, and neither are its perscribed punishments. I have already stated that I would not find a woman guilty of murdering her rapist.
Being a victim of rape does not justify being the initiator of the murder of the innocent.
The victim didn't initiate any murder at all. If she choses not to bear the child of her rapist, it is the rapist that initiated the killing of his child, and no one else.
And yes, abortion is murder.
In most cases, I agree with that. In the case of rape and incest, it is a justifiable killing, although it is indeed a tragedy of tremendous proportion.
