Hardly. I just think that the choice, is not mine, nor yours, nor certainly not governments to make in a situation like that. That being said, I think it is a decision between that person and god and I will not pass judgment on it.

Murder, rape, other crimes, have a perpitrator and a victim, I do not see where there is some undue burden being assumed by anyone by criminalizing those behaviors. Likening an abortion to a criminal murder or theft misses the point.

Murder, rape, other crimes, have a perpitrator and a victim, ...

And abortion does not?

Likening an abortion to a criminal murder or theft misses the point.

Reasoning that the taking of an innocent human life in the womb is not like murder or theft misses my point.

If your 13 yr old daughter has been impregnated by rape she has two choices regarding the life in her womb:

1. Carry that life to term.

2. Kill that life.

If she chooses #2 and claims to be assisted in that decision by a god, as you suggest, it makes me wonder what kind of god that is. Actually it tells me a lot about what kind of god it is, a god of convenience, who places less value on the child's life than it does the mother's emotional/financial state. One who does not create us equal in its eyes conferring a right to life on all. A god having nothing to do with our DoI or Constitution or BoRs.

I'm sorry, but as a father of two teenage daughters, I have to play devils advocate here and ask you, what if your 13 y/o decided to keep the kid?
