MrBubbles said: "but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.” i agree with this position, in theory...but i really cant argue for it. the rape itself would be a great trauma for them to deal with, so i dont know how many women could deal with carrying the child even if its just going to be put up for adoption. |
It's the way he is saying it. I would never refer to a fetus as a child, just like I wouldn't with a newly fertilized egg.
If only there was a way of measuring when they become self-conscious. In my opinion that's when abortion should not be acceptable anymore.
Edit: Hm... Given the responces I suppose I need to take that last part back :P The more you know.
