Similarly, Julie Makimaa, who works diligently against the perception that abortion is acceptable or even necessary in cases of sexual assault, proclaims, “It doesn't matter how I began. What matters is who I will become.”

Amen!

Amen!

You bet! How can infanticide ever be an acceptable answer to our own failings?

Capital punishment for the rapist, not the baby. Adoption is always an option if the mother doesn’t want the baby.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month?

Seems like we should be aware of it every month. Geez.

Sadly, the moral question is a mute one, since at this time, our tax dollars can and will be used to fund aborting 3rd trimester babies for the purpose of birth control.

If that ever happened to me, I could not kill the baby, but neither could I keep it.
I do believe abortion is murder, but I just could not raise that baby.

Sorry, but you will encourage sexual assault without a rape exception... encourage people to choose life, but don’t dare make it the law to carry a rapists child...

Not only we should we aware of it, we should be armed against it! If you’re able to kill the sob, you’ll probably be saving more women, too.

If something is right, it is right. It is not necessary to tell lies if you are defending the truth. Apparently you do not believe what you defend is the truth, else you would not tell the lie that a fetus is and infant.

I despise abortion, but I despise liars more, because they harm every true purpose.

How?

There is such a mind boggling huge disconnect there that I can't for the life of me see how not allowing abortion even for rape VICTIMS, could have any influence on the RAPIST.

Not allowing abortion for rape victims is going to make rape more likely to happen? Or is going to encourage more men to rape women?

Please explain what passes for reasoning in your brain.

“Sadly, however, the testimonies of women who have actually been pregnant through sexual assault are routinely left out of this public debate.”

This is the main problem I have with the pro abortion folks. They lie, distort and leave out vital information. If they are so confident that women want their deadly service then give all the facts, good or bad.

Don't they know that this is such a life altering decision that will forever be with these women the rest of their lives? The cold reality of the truth is the very least that they deserve. These women are treated like pawns instead of intelligent women who are under a great deal of stress. They are used and their emotional state is taken advantage of.

Reagan’s position was to allow women who did not enter into the act of sex willingly to be allowed to terminate any pregnancy that resulted.

It still kills a life.

But I’d accept that, if it prevented the other 98 or 99% of the abortions.

I agree, it’s not optimal, but it would save millions of lives.

It embarasses me to admit this, but I am one Catholic who would be willing to stipulate for “choice” in cases of rape and incest, if that meant we could save the other millions that were “inconvenient.” I expect that this will be what happens in a lot of states when the issue eventually goes back to them.

The not-so-unforseen consequence of this, of course, will be a rise in false accusations of rape.

If my own daughter was raped, I would hope that I had taught her well enough to make the correct the decision, I would do what I could to support her. Having known a few rape victims in my life, I can say for sure that there are more than a few women who would take their own (and their child’s) lives rather than give birth to their attacker’s baby.

Why should the child die for the sins of it’s father? The baby is also an innocent victim of the rape. If you can not raise the child, give it up for adoption so that it can be a blessing for a childless couple.

Isn’t there a difference between pushing something and allowing it?

God allows a lot of things that He certainly doesn’t encourage.

But since God doesn’t prevent abortions does that make him pro abortion, too? Hey, he allows them to happen so why not?
