What if your wife was raped and got pregnant by the rapist? Would you have the child knowing that A) it's a product of a violent crime against someone you love and B) a constant reminder of the attack.
I will say, it got me thinking and was a profound question.

Thanks for bringing this up.
I don't believe in abortion as an alternative to birth control, but I also don't agree that abortion shouldn't be a choice. The problem is the happy medium.
The FANATICS...yes FANATICS will tell you that under the scenario you suggest, it is NOT the fault of the baby, therefore, abortion should not be an alternative.
Now, I don't use the term fanatic loosely, but when someone tells me that my wife should walk around with the constant reminder of an experience such as a rape, and THEN give the baby up for adoption...THAT is MY definition of a fanatic.
P.S. I phoned a pro-life office to see if their point of view was the same as I've heard the media spew, and not distorted in any way, and the answer above is exactly what I got. I agree that it's NOT the fault of the baby, but as merciful as these people pretend to be, it's merciLESS for them to think any woman should walk around carrying the baby of her rapist.
