 |  Tragic situations... I would like to sart a thread here to examine the more difficult situations... Specifically rape, incest and threat to the mother's life. I've heard a lot of opinions here, and I respect each person's right to their own. That said... What do we believe when things become more complicated? A woman that is pregnant as a result of a rape? Most believe that she should have a right to a legal and safe abortion, but some contend that the conception is not the baby's fault and s/he should not be punished for it. Incest, especially molestation, is a horrible thing. What do we think if a young woman is pregnant by a relative but doesn't have yet enough sense of self (which is common among molested youngsters) to name the person that has been taking advantage? Is it her responsibility or should she also have access? What of the woman who know that she has a medical condition that would probably kill her if she was to give birth? Some believe that if you are not capable of having or raising a child you shouldn't have sex. Should SHE be made to have a child since she knew the risks? I think it would be interesting to discuss this directly.  | |||||||||||||||||||||

| No greater love can one have for another if he/she lays down his/her life for another. As for rape and incest cases, apart of me is torn. But I think life should prevail. | |||||||||||||||||||||

 | Well, I'm pro-choice anyway. I don't understand how a fetus, whose brain stem has not attached, is 'sacred' - but if a person is in an accident and their brain stem is detached, we call them dead and bury them. Oh, well. IF abortions were illegal, then I believe it would hypocritical to allow them for any reason. IF this fetus with the detached brain stemp is so sacred, why should it be any less sacred for any reason? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  "know this is EXACTLY why people think you shouldnt have equal rights" 2/11/08 Grace | |||||||||||||||||||||
