So kill the child and let the rapist live? Sounds like something out of Nazi Germany.

“The welfare of mother and child are never at odds, even in sexual assault cases,” says Dr. David Reardon, a full-time researcher into the impact of abortion on women, in a valuable article, “ Rape, Incest and Abortion: Searching Beyond the Myths .” “Both the mother and child are helped by preserving life, not by perpetuating violence.”

From his own research and the work of others, Reardon reports some results most people would find surprising:

For example, it is commonly assumed that rape victims who become pregnant would naturally want abortions. But in the only major study of pregnant rape victims ever done, Dr. Sandra Makhorn found that 75 to 85 percent chose against abortion. This evidence alone should cause people to pause and reflect on the presumption that abortion is wanted or even best for sexual assault victims.

Kill the rapist if you want, I don’t care.

As far as what happens to the child, that is for the mother and victim of the rapist to determine, not you.

But forcing the mother to bear the child of her rapist even if it against her consent?

Sounds like something out of Nazi Germany.
