It is also the mother who carries the baby to term for 9 months. Let's imagine she was raped. Let's say it was her own father. It's sick, but it's been known to happen. So you would force her to carry the baby to term would you? Nine months with that inside of her? Let's also say that she is a teenager and is trying to finish school. You would also force her to go to school in her condition, showing everyone there daily what has happened to her. Please tell me how this is humane or respectful of the young woman's rights in any way.
I have already mentioned this in an earlier post. There are circumstances like this that are extreme and are very difficult to judge....problem is Linda, bringing this up, does not justify what is taking place everyday to unborn children. 4000 abortions everyday in the US alone, is not all the product of rape by a long shot.
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient). In a circumstance like this with a girl becoming pregnant from rape (by incest or otherwise) is a very difficult moral dilemma and asking a lot of any women to carry that baby full term. However, there are some women who DO carry the baby full term because they are aware of the precious life within them that is not guilty of any crime. The crime itself was disgusting, the result (a baby) is not.
The perpetrator is the guilty party and nobody talks about aborting them do they? The baby is innocent. I admire the girls/women who carry the baby fullterm, possibly giving it up for adoption, but I could not honestly judge the ones that didn't. You ask me if it's "humane" to expect them to carry a child? Is it humane to kill the child?
I do not believe that two wrongs make a right. Rape is a terrible crime, murder of an unborn child is a terrible crime. And yes it is a huge ask for any victim to carry such a child to full term. But if they KNEW about the unborn child more accurately than is being portrayed and what happens during an abortion to the baby, they make think twice.
Some women that have been shown the reality have changed their minds, it does happen. But this information is usually suppressed and they are simply fed what the pro-abortionists wish them to believe. That way it makes it a whole lot easier to go through with it and not have too much of a twinge of conscience.
Okaying abortion based on the extreme circumstances, still does not justify it on behalf of the unborn innocent. It is also another abuse of the Mother herself.
"Pro-abortionists apparently think that uninformed "choice" is the best kind. That makes their claim to be "pro-woman" ring hollow. All of us ought to want women to know all the risks involved in having an abortion. They should know that there are two victims of what they are considering." -Mental health and abortion http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/breakpoint.html -The abortion/breast cancer link http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/breastcancer.html
