“The grieving victim of the rape has no right to turn her grief on an innocent child who has absolutely no fault.”
True. But, do the men have the right to force a woman to go through gestation, and then suffer delivery agony/risks if the child is the product of rape? I am here assuming the rape victim does not want to carry and deliver the child.
Please consider the contradiction between your “innocent child” which should be “innocent fetus”, and the Christian concept of “Original Sin”.
Original Sin would not allow the fetus to be free of sin, or are you postulating that Original Sin is contracted during passage down the birth canal?

You assume a lot. A rape victim need not channel her anger towards the child. The child is an innocent party in this and does not deserve to be murdered. A rape victim should be counselled and supported, not encourage to murder.
Taking an innocent life is simply not an option. That is the principle of my argument.
“Please consider the contradiction between your “innocent child” which should be “innocent fetus”, and the Christian concept of “Original Sin”.”
All children are innocent. There is no one more innocent than an unborn child. Anything else, including the argument for abortion because of “original sin”, is bulls##t.

Original Sin is a religious concept for those who subscribe. My argument is based on the right of an innocent human to life and nobody has the right to take that away, not even the mother-to-be and definitely not based on religious concepts.
