Good question. I am looking forward to the pro-lifers answers. An abortion is an abortion, no matter if it the woman was raped. Why should this be any different? |
|
?

A die hard pro-lifer does not support abortion in this situation. They would rather see the child born and adopted. However, a pro-lifer with common sense will understand a woman aborting if pregnant from rape or incest. It should be the woman's choice in this case. I am anti abortion however, I do not condemn people for making their own decisions. It does sicken me that people do not use protection and opt for abortion as a form of birth control. Even though I am anti abortion I do not support biills making abortion illegal. Why....because women will wind on on kitchen tables and back alleys again. |

And who will take care of the child if the mother won't ?Many many children live all their lives in orphanages because nobody wanted them . |

No you can't have it both ways, life is life.. Even if a child is conceived after rape, doesn't make the child a rapist. Perhaps the morning after pills are best for victims. If you can stop the egg from being fertilized than you're not killing a human.
The main issue is that more abortions are often done when they don't that have ANYTHING to do with being raped, and long after pregnancy. Pro death people often ask about rape and near death scenarios to try to justify killing children. It's not justifiable.
So many couples today try so hard to get a baby and go above and beyond to get a child, if the mother doens' want the child or the ability to raise it, there ARE people that would love to love the child. |

Although not all pro-lifers are such because they beleive life starts at conception (though most are). A person who is pro-life based on life starting at conception does not think abortion is acceptable, even in a rape instance. Many Pro-lifers, however, would support a law/position like this (abortion only in rape/incest) because they are realistic and realize that a law like this would still greatly reduce the number of abortions (or murders as they see it), and is much more likely to hold up to a supreme court test than a complete ban.
A simple analogy to make this point . . . Say you beleive that it is wrong to drive a car over 35 mph. The speed limit is 55. Wouldn't you support a reducion in the speed limit to 45? |

I am agaisnt abortion for any reason, however I do not judge people that have had abortions. I beilive it is less than 4% of abortions are due to rape or incest. So I would say it is picking your battle, sacrificing 4% to save the rest. Still seems wrong to me, but with 5,000 babies being aborted a day, it would still be a huge improvement. |

I am pro life. I have been through some pretty hard things in life- I was never raped, very close though. My sister was raped- it is an awful and traumatic event and unless you have been through it you cannot imagine the horror, the fear and the haunting that one goes through after such an event.
Ideally, I believe that if one became pregnant as a result of rape, and they were unable to care for the child because of the feelings associated with the rape, the child should be given up for adoption- even better, the mother would be able to find healing and seperate her feelings about the rape from her feelings for the child and love and raise the child on her own. Unfortunately, what is ideal is not always easy. Although I feel there is no justification for abortion, even rape, I cannot place judgement on someone who would have an abortion because of rape. I can't imagine the torment that that person would go through, and although god has provided a better way, do ANY of us ALWAYS take the right way instead of what is easier? I believe the God tempers justice with mercy and though that is not license to do the wrong thing, only God knows what is in the heart. |

There is an issue in Ethics called "viability". This refers to whether or not the fetus can survive outside of the womb at the time of termination. (of the pregnancy, or abortion).
I believe that abortion wouldn't be for me-it is an issue between the woman and her personal beliefs and her Maker. She's held accountable to her particular belief system. I'm not going to judge her, that's not my job. |

Because everything has Gray area.... That's why! Abortion should not be used as a form of contraception. Oh! I think I'm pregnant... It's okay... I'LL just throw the baby in the garbage. There are exceptions to every rule and I just think that the folks who are pro abortion come up with these type of rebuttals to discredit what us pro lifers believe. But there is always an exception! |

I'm pro-life in most instances, but a woman who has been raped should definitely have the option of getting an abortion. Not all women would be able to psycholgically be able to go through the agony of a 9-month pregnancy following such a traumatic thing such as rape or incest. I also can't see forcing a 12 or 13 year old girl to carry through a pregnancy if they were the victims of incest. I just can't.
Given the fact that I'm a man who would never know the agony of such a horrific situation, I could not in good conscience say what any woman in that situation should do. Again, I don't like abortion. But I think rape/incest is a special case which warrants the option. |

Its not so much support as it is trying to save all the other babies. Picking your battle. Ideally no baby should be aborted, but if there has to be an exception for rape/incest many are willing to accept that in order that all the other abortions be prevented. |

i think that most pro lifers actually believe that if you concieve then you should give birth and at least give it up for adoption. |

I think abortion is wrong. I think it is wrong to kill a fetus out of convienence. On the rap and incest issue. I think that story is sad all around. I would be alot more simpethetic to someone having an abortion in that situation. |

VERY seldom does a pregnancy occur during a rape. It's a very poor argument that pro death people like to use. |

i am a pro-lifer and think abortion is wrong in all aspects. I think any woman that is raped should have immediate access to Plan B, which prevents pregnancy. |

raped women should be able to abort and as for abortion you are gonna be responsible for snuffing out the life of a would-have-been human being that would have the capacity for thoughts opinions, feelings, and the capacity for love. |

I agree with most of these answers. Life begins at conception. It may not have been God's will, but it is life none the less. |

Any way you cut it, abortion is wrong(even in rape cases). The fetus's heart starts beating before it is born. If it is a rape case and the mother can't take care of it, then the baby should be put up for adoption. |
