Abortion - Moments of (Mis)Conception

If you believe that abortion is killing a child then how can you condone killing a child for the actions of a rapist? For the good of the mother?
In what way is the mother better off aborting a child that resulted from rape than aborting a child that resulted from a consentual relationship?Do you also believe that a "bastard" should be considered lesser person because his parents did not get married?How does a mixed race child sit in your book? Should she be punished because her parents didn't make the "right" choice?Edited by LinearAq, : added quote marks so I don't look like a racist

riVeRrat, From this statement you seem to indicate that abortion might be ok. If this is the qualifier though, why is should ending a pregnancy caused by rape be allowed and ending one from consentual sex not be allowed. From the point of view of "protecting life", they should be the same. I can't see where the distinction can be made that, at two weeks along, the fertilized egg of the rape victim can be destroyed but the fertilized egg of the woman who had consentual sex with two guys must be protected from destruction. What fine points in your logic am I missing here?As far as my comments on your attitudes toward already born children, I was not trying to demean your Christian character. I was just pointing out examples where children have been unreasonably blamed for the circumstances of their conception.

Assuming that women consisted of 51 percent of the 200,000,000 (admittedly low figure) person population in 1989, 21 percentof them got abortions (the figure from the study), and .01 percent of those experienced the effects cited in riVeRrat's preferred website, that would be 2142 women. Let's half that to account for some of the population being children...so 1071 women. Some would consider that figure as "many".It looks more devastating than saying that ".01% of those women choosing abortion experience high levels of depression after admitting their sin to their pastors and Christian friends".Isn't spin fun?
