No. My forthright, logical point is that, in the case of rape that results in a pregnancy, there are TWO innocent victims. An abortion can, in this case, be an act of self-defense.
I didn't say the housebreaker was trying to kill you. He is guilty of breaking and entering. He may be unarmed. But as a society we recognize a legitimate interest in self-defense, and don't insist that the homeowner have pictures and notarized statements that he intended to commit violence. A raped, pregnant woman faces the same shadow of possible harm or death in carrying a baby to term. And many of you say, "Let her put it up for adoption". Thats great, if she has a healthy baby. But suppose it is a baby with Downes snydrome? Might be a little difficult to find someone to adopt such a child (though may God doubly bless those who find it in their hearts to do so).
It is in any case a tragic situation in which there is, in my opinion, no "good" answer. One chooses what one thinks is the least bad solution. We have different opinions on what that should be. I just choose to argue the POINT rather than engage in an ad hominem attack against you.
Abortion is never a form of self defense, you sick freak.
