14 pages had to be about something.
He didn`t support rape: "And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”
All he is saying that creating life - despite the origin - is something that comes from God. It was God`s plan that despite what happened, still, a life should arise.
Maybe, just maybe, this child will be the best thing to happen to the mother even being born under such conditions. |
That is possible, but then anything is. What people don't like about the idea of every single abortion being illegal is that it makes rape that much worse because there's no part of this where the woman gets a choice. Maybe that baby will change her life for the better, but that should be her decision, not something that the government forces on her in the worst time of her life. Just seems logical on my end. Yes it's unfortunate that a human life will never come to be, but rape shouldn't have that added possible punishment added onto it for the victim.

But for anyone who sincerely holds to the belief that a fetus is a human, allowing abortion makes the rape all the more horrible, in that now there are two victims instead of one.
|
Oh I think a fetus is a human, not a thinking feeling one yet, but a human none the less. And it's a shitty situation no doubt, and I'd prefer that the baby came to term, but I won't force it on someone at the lowest point in their life. If some girl decides to have sex and screws up her birth control then that's on her, but a woman who was raped shouldn't be forced to keep a pregnancy from it.

But why, if the fetus is indeed human, should the fetus be forced to have its life taken away? To be sure, something aboslutely horrific has been done to the woman. but murder is just as bad, if not worse.
That at least would be the argument against abortion in this case.
