Abu, I do agree that it is not the fault of the child conceived, and rapist should have their fingernails pulled off with pliers, but I do have to say that as Gypsy said, if a 14 year old girl is raped (she used an extreme example of it being by her father) should that same 14 year old child be subjected to raising a child she didnt plan for, nor consent to? Do you think she will love that child?
Again, as Gypsy said, you cant 'dumb down' this issue. A woman doesnt take the decision to abort lightly, and the option of adoption is not acceptable in all societies.
We cannot judge the entire concept based on our individual beliefs. I think it may be more appropriate to judge if any of us are put in this situation, and to be honest being judged by a group of my peers in such an instance would be the least of my worries. _____________________________________________________
