I believe it would be appropriate if evaluated on a case by case basis.
The reason I would want it to be case by case and not mandatory upon conviction is because I am aware that false accusations of rape are made.
But in a case where a rape is proven to have occurred and most certainly in any case of a serial rapist, yes.
I’d probably be for it in other instances of sex crimes too, because I find such crimes to be particularly heinous.
The reason I ask is that humans are composed of a body, a soul, and a spirit.
The body is procreated by sexual act.
The soul is created at the time of birth and imputed to the body.
The human spirit is regenerated at the time of saving faith, and the believer is then given that eternal life.
Murder is the illegitimate act of killing the human, resulting in the separation of the soul/spirit from the body.
In the case of abortion, the physical body is destroyed, making it unable to receive the soul.
While the RCC tends to consider abortion as infanticide or murder of a human, Augustinian theology declares only God creates the soul and places it in the human body. This is generally identified with the moment of birth from the mother when the soul is activated in the baby.
There are some who argue the soul resides in the baby at conception, but that would tend to support a heretical theology that man creates the soul rather than God.
Biologically, the same physical symptoms used to identify life in the body of an adult, is present within the baby by the first trimester.
A safer approach might be to consider the act against a ‘potential human life’ as being criminal.
The arguments allowing abortion in cases of rape, fail to acknowledge life in the baby prior to birth from the mother. Even if not embued with a soul or spirit, the physical baby still has biological human life, though it’s killing is not identical to murder of a mature human adult, it still deprives that person of life and steals their rewards which had been predestined for them by God in eternity past.
