Reply #4: The most absurd, idiotic and SICK reason I've read so far

[northofdenali]

for not aborting a fetus resulting from rape or incest was in Friday's Chicago Trib LTTE. Not snipping, as it is public (I think) - let me know if I'm wrong on the no-snip, mods:

"If I understand it right, the pro-abortion advocates believe that it is somehow acceptable to kill one’s unborn child if the child was the result of rape or incest. Apparently a mother’s desire to forget the past trumps the child’s right to live. What did the child do to deserve that? Doesn’t it have the same right to life as the mother?

I can understand how women might believe that access to abortion should be provided in cases of rape or incest. They believe that somehow having the child would further victimize the mother.

But I wonder if they had considered that having the child provides undeniable proof of the crime. An abortion provides an incestuous relative or rapist with a get-out-of-jail free card; it effectively thwarts prosecution of these heinous crimes and allows the perpetrator to continue his abuse.
