No, it wouldn’t be okay, and I’ve never claimed that abortion isn’t murder. It is. I don’t support mid or late term abortions under any scenario. If it’s to be done then it must be done very early.
At the risk of you saying I'm putting words in your mouth, what I think you are saying is, "I don't support mid or late term murders under any scenario, but if murder is to be done, it must be done early."
I have known women who have had abortions and they all agree on one thing: If they had it to do over again, they would opt against the killing of their child. They tell stories of the guilt, the nightmares, the always constant reminders of how old their child would have been.
What you advocate is heartless and chilling. Yes, a woman in such circumstances will give up nine months of her life, but that pales in comparison to killing another human being. You seriously err in the contention that the baby's life is that of the mothers to take. It isn't. That life belongs to God, not to any human including the woman whose body the child is currently residing in.
One of the Commandments tells us not to murder. I don't recall any "unless" clauses attached to it.
Yes, that’s right, if murder is to be done, it has to be done early.
And what I advocate is giving the woman the opportunity to give her consent, which was denied to her by a rapist.
Beyond that, what she decides is up to her, and it is not up to me or you.
I will never tell her that she must deliver the child or go to prison.
I would certainly advise her that it is my opinion that delivering the child is indeed the right thing to do, because it is. But it’s up to her, and it’s going to be up to her whether the law allows it or not, because she can end it anytime she wants by any number of means, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
In the very least, the most you can ever possibly hope to achieve is being able to punish the behavior after it occurs, but there is no practical way that you can prevent this from occurring.
I would also add, as I have stated many times before in this thread, that those who think such a law will ever be passed and upheld in this country are engaging in sheer fantasy.
It will never happen, nor should it.
She has the right of consent.
