Abbortion

What if you are a rape victim?

Doesn't a woman's body shut down in cases of legitimate rape, so there can be no pregnancy due to that?

I think that's what Todd Akin said, congressman and member of the committee on Science, Space and Technology. He must know better.

sarcasm aside, a woman should be allowed to abort a baby as long as it has not passed the stage where it could be delivered and survive.

By his logic, yes.

Cant really see the difference, kill a baby at 3 months or at 8 months. End result = "You've robbed the child of a life".

I agree.

But who cares? The baby that would have been does not, nor does the mother.

She tried to get an abortion at the time but was over the legal 24-week limit.

Thanks for keeping us safe against our will with your laws, government...

abortion at any stage in pregnancy is murder - regardless if it is 40 weeks or 4 days!!!

No it isn't.


Is that first of all she is nuts.
It would definitely appear that she has mental issues.

Second of all I found the Judge's statement rather strange... "Robbed a child...". Abortion is Abortion.... The life wouldve been "Robbed" regardless.

Regardless of what? You mean had a legal abortion been performed? There is a big, big difference.


Really. The OP has been modified but is still nothing more than a link and run.

Todd Akin needs to educate himself, desperately.
 
So what if its rape? The baby is that, just a baby and an innocent one at that.

I don’t know, maybe I’m not being rational but i can’t see no good reason to kill a baby, for x, y, z reasons. Only reason i can see that was justifiable is if the mother was in danger.

There is an undertone to this thread already. She did wrong we know, our opinions on abortion are not what this thread is about.

She needs a psych evaluation ASAP.

I don't think being rational on the mother's part really comes into it.

Do you think she should be forced to bring up a child that was forced on her by an attacker? What about her partner, should he be forced to bring up a child that isn't his and was forced on his partner?
 
Doesn't the problem arise in the fact that that stage is a complete grey area?

Well of course, but at 39 weeks that is not grey at all! I mean, this case is pretty clear on the 'legality' of the abortion.

Not only that but there can be good reasons to abort at late stages too. If the mothers life is at risk for example.

Totally agree, just didn't want to elaborate.

Well, how about we force you to look after a child for 9 months (let alone actually bear it inside you). You wouldn't like that and you would disagree.

The whole point hinges on when do you consider it to be a baby. If you feel that a 1 week old fetus is a baby then you wouldn't agree with abortion even if it was rape because you'd see it as killing a person. If you think though that a 1 week old fetus is not a human yet then you would presumably concede to getting rid of it as it's not a person but a collection of cells who are dependent on X and X alone to survive.
