Is giving birth to a rapist's baby more painful than giving birth to another kind of baby? Or are you talking about psychological pain. That can be dealt with by helping the mother not to transfer blame. Additionally, many victims of rape who have aborted their babies tell of the guilt of adding the crime of murder to the crime of rape. Aborting the baby does nothing to unrape the woman, it just compounds the crime

You have no right to tell her that she has to have that baby. It's not her child unless she chooses it to be because it was forced on her.

I think you're forgetting who the rapist is

I am well aware of who the rapist is.

I'm not telling her she has to have that baby. I'm simply telling her she may not murder it. I certainly have the right to proscribe murder by law.

It's not her child unless she chooses it to be because it was forced on her.

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read, and that's saying a lot. First of all, we don't own people. When we say a child is "mine" we mean "my responsibility" not "my property." Responsibilities often have nothing to do with our choices. Circumstances often thrust them upon us.

There is no right, implicit or explicit, for a mother to kill her child except in self-defense. None.

I am well aware of who the rapist is

Then quit trying to blame me for what the rapist is forcing the woman to do.

All I am doing is protecting the baby from being murdered, no matter what excuse the murderer is offering.

Shalom.
