As Wag says, Girl, a criminal can’t be executed for rape, but a baby can be killed because his father raped.

That doesn’t make sense.

I believe in the requirements laid on us by the US Constitution. No one shall be executed for a capital offense without due process of law.

The baby has the right to a trial by jury to determine what crime it has committed that is worthy of capital punishment.

The other problem is that an abortion is without exception a killing. After the trial, the child can be delivered and placed for adoption at the earliest viable moment.

Delivery instead of abortion is my position. Always strive to preserve life, and especially innocent life.

xzins, I merely answered wagglebee's quesion: Will someone please explain to me what the logic is behind sentencing the child of a criminal to death when it is illegal to sentence the criminal to death?

I did not say I concurred or disagreed with the answer I provided, just gave a possible explanation of the logic.

Your idea of a jury trial to determine whether a baby could be put to death would never fly, imo.

Delivery instead of abortion is my position. Always strive to preserve life, and especially innocent life.

Of course that would be the best outcome for the child, and probably in most cases for the mother. There may be cases, though, where the health of the mother is severely jepeordized by forcing her to deliver the baby due to a rape. Some things can not be known. Have you ever thought about the possibility that a woman who has conceived as the result of a rape and knows that she could abort that baby could actually be empowered to deliver a healthy baby, maybe even keep the baby because she now has the control? Without the option of a legal abortion (as morally wrong as it may be), what control has she ever had in the whole process? None, unless she wants to break the law.
