Here’s the bottom line, anon. If abortion is wrong when the woman has consensual sex, then abortion is wrong when the woman is raped. If abortion kills a fetus when sex is consensual, it kills a fetus when it isn’t.
If abortion is wrong, then it is ALWAYS wrong. Killing someone doesn’t become less wrong because that person is inconvenient.
I totally understand that rape is horrific and that being pregnant could exacerbate the mental trauma. I get that. But the solution to that isn’t, “Women should be allowed to have abortions.” The solution is, STOP RAPING PEOPLE!
Rape and abortion are wrong for the same reason – they are both a violent assault on another person’s body.
Rape is forced. A woman should not be forced to carry her rapist\'s seed. Hasn\'t she been forced enough already? It\'s sad that the fetus is killed but to force a woman to carry it is equally sad. It is a reminder of her rape. It will hold her back from moving on. Rapists can sue for parental rights which would force her to see her rapist again in court. Women who were raped deserve choice even if does kill the fetus.
