kallend 2,027 #1 September 3, 2008 The Republican candidate for VP is on record as opposing abortion even for a minor who is the victim of rape. What do you think? Should a young girl be forced to bear the child of a rapist?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rushmc 23 #2 September 3, 2008 QuoteThe Republican candidate for VP is on record as opposing abortion even for a minor who is the victim of rape. What do you think? Should a young girl be forced to bear the child of a rapist? I voted yes even though I believe pro life. Even with my stance it is hard for me to think a gov has the right to tell a woman what they have to do one way or the other. My only caveat is that since the gov should not be making the choice, neither should that same gov be providing funds to either choice either."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

poe62 0 #4 September 3, 2008 As a victim of rape, I think it's ridiculous to force a woman to have MORE mental and physical reminders of something so monumentally damaging to a person. Even after the baby is born, there are physical reminders left to their body that a baby was born from that horrible act. I'm sorry, but my life is important too. It takes years to get over something like that, and I can't say I ever will be. You can all say I'm wrong if you want, but it is my opinion.~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #6 September 3, 2008 QuotePro life is pro life. I believe that the unborn child is a life also, and horrible things happen in this world, but killing an unborn child is not the solutiion. So a woman who has already suffered the trauma of rape should be further victimized by being forced to carry the rapist's child for nine months, along with the physical toll that pregnancy takes on a woman's body? I would likely commit suicide before enduring such a sentence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #7 September 3, 2008 Abortion should be rare.. but needs to be a choice any female has. In this case I cant think of HOW ANYone in their right mind would force a woman to live with those consequences. Its barbaric to subject a woman to a lifetime of taking care of someone that stemed from such a horror. Personally I think anyone who suffers that fate has the right to demand the perp who did it spends his life in a jail cell with only a modicum. of humanity left to him as payment for his crime.

The posed question was about abortion, I think you are going into a new scenario, of making it a requirement to keep the child, as apposed to giving it to a loving family who will adopt it.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #23 September 3, 2008 That's an interesting parallel argument. But on this one I'd say the NO man has a single right to expect a woman to go through child birth [fullstop] (.)Y(.)

If my wife chose to abort, My life would have been destroyed, I would not be able to live with myself, and would just, give up. I disagree. She's the one that has to carry the baby, she's the one that makes the decision. That is exactly why conversations regarding birth control, abstinence, abortion, etc, need to take place PRIOR to having sex, not after an unintended pregnancy occurs, so that issues like dad wanting to keep a kid that mom wants to abort don't come up. I don't like the concept of abortion, I'd rather see none take place through abstinence, birth control, adoption, whatever. Until that happens though, abortion at an early stage should remain legal.
