[Mrs. Don-o]

Inasmuch as impregnation would be an aspect of female sexual function, then yes, impregnation without consent would be an aspect of rape.

It is essentially the use of a woman's sexual function without her consent.

Back in 1971, the vile feminist lecturerTi-Grace Atkinson told a University audience that God took Mary without her consent--- "knocked her down and knocked her up"--- and Pat Buckley Bozell charged the podium to slap her on the face.

I'm basically opposed to violence, but on this issue I would side with Bozell and not with Atkinson. I will defend Mary from the repulsive suggestion that she was basically forced to be a reproductive concubine, and that Our Good God is the moral equivalent of Muhammad.

“Inasmuch as impregnation would be an aspect of female sexual function, then yes, impregnation without consent would be an aspect of rape.”

Isn’t God the sovereign of life and death? Does He not decide, in each and every case, which women on earth will be impregnated, and at what time, whether the woman desires a pregnancy or not?:

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13

So, even if you believe Mary assented, your definition seems to make God a “rapist” of every other woman who God gave a child to, since no angel was sent to them to ask if they assented to be impregnated.

I will defend Mary from the repulsive suggestion that she was basically forced to be a reproductive concubine, and that Our Good God is the moral equivalent of Muhammad.

I will defend the BIBLE's clear wording that Mary was NOT asked whether she wanted the job.
