You are ignoring what has happened to the women and foisting the responsibility for this potential child upon her. It is not her responsibility, it is the rapists. But one certainly can't expect him accept that - now can we?
And again I will make the point you just can't seem to hold in your brain long enough to let it effect the content of your posts -
I am not recommending abortion, I am saying it is wrong to take from her, the victim of the rape, that option.

Again, many wonderful people were the product of rape. Being the child of a rape doesn't make you a bad person. You don't deserve to die just because your mom feels bad about what happened to her or she hates you.

You can't take the moral responsibility to own the consequences of ones own choices and say that means someone forced to do the same thing also has to own the consequences. I am not responsible for the consequences of something you force me to do. You are.
Therefore, allowing rape as an exception clause for a ban on abortions does not in any way apply the reasons that exception clause might exist to any manner of consensual sex that produces a pregnancy. The raped women is victim and is not responsible to accept the consequences of the rapists actions. The women that had consensual sex is not a victim and through her own choice is pregnant and thus must accept the consequences of her own actions.
Jim
That because she is a victim, her innocent baby is allowed to become a victim too, of abortion. The baby pays with it's life, while the rapist just gets a few years in prison. Is that fair?

Go back and read my comments throughout this thread and then tell me again if you can honestly say that I am "ignoring what has happened to the women and foisting the responsibility for this potential child upon her."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostSo you are counted among those who view an unborn baby as being less than human. The proverbial clump of tissue.
I am pro-life, but I view the initial stages (prior to formation of the nervous system) as not yet a person. Human life with the potential to become a person, but not yet. And that is hugely different from what you just said. An unborn baby can be 8 months 2 weeks gestation. I am talking about the first 4 to 6 weeks at most. Further, I am not advocating for that distinction to make abortion on demand something moral, or acceptable in the normal case during this early period. But in THIS case (the case of a women made pregnant by a rapist against her will), it is an important difference and must be taken into account. The difference being there are two innocents whose lives can't both be saved as they currently are. And during that early period, I believe the choice can be morally made to allow the women to preserve what is left of her life as it was before the rape.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostYep - I honestly can say that. If she aborts the child you want her to be guilty of murder, not the rapist. You want to make her 100% responsible for the child the rapist put inside her against her will. That is EXACTLY what you are doing. You are:
"ignoring what has happened to the women and foisting the responsibility for this potential child upon her."

It is ALL on him.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostHow do you think God views a mother taking the life of her unborn child Jim? How does her taking that life make anything better regarding the rape? She will still have been raped, but now she has also killed her unborn child. Seems like things just got worse.
God knows what a person can handle. And (I know you don't accept this, but it is what it is) the OT law - in the original text - apparently makes the distinction between the unformed child and the formed child when determining the punishment for a man who through his actions kills the unborn.
Whether it got worse for the woman would depend a lot on her own sense of what the child was at the stage of development she is weighing her options. I am pretty sure my wife would keep the child in such a case, so highly does she value life and children. But not everyone can accept that responsibility. It's going to be a horrible decision for anyone. But in this case, it is her decision to make, not mine, not yours, not the state's, and certainly not the rapist's.
