Allrighty, so many of you have seen or even advocated the belief that abortion should be permissible in cases of rape and/or incest.
Yes, I still consider you Pro-Life, hence why I've got this thread in the Pro-Life Activism. As far as I'm concerned, this is an internal discussion that needs to be had so I don't want the Pro-Abortion yokels mucking up the thread.
That being said... I'm not convinced that's the proper way to go about things.
Yes, I realize that it's not an easy burden for the mother to bear for a woman to have the kid of her rapist, and heaven help any !$$!^$!%#@$! (Use your Imagination here kiddos. This is supposed to be Tweb Appropriate) who tries it with any of my daughters. Here's the thing: The kid's a victim of circumstance. It's not their fault their sperm donor was a scumbag, so why should they have to suffer for what they've done?
I think instead we should be providing counseling and support for the women in these circumstances. Pregnancy centers should involve counselors that are properly trained for dealing with these situations. I realize that isn't a guarantee, but I think it's preferable to making an exception for rape and incest.
PS... Also, there's the potential Lovecraftian Can of Horrors that we'd be opening if we're expecting the "Rape/Incest" exception to be enforced, but I'd rather start this thread on a less speculative note.
