Let me cut to the chase here… if we can’t kill the rapist, why can we kill the baby? The baby is innocent. The rapist is a soulless loser who is going to get out of jail in 5 years, and in many cases will repeat the act. If I’m violently attacked, raped, and end up pregnant, killing my unborn child isn’t going to make me feel any less raped and isn’t going to bring me to peace. If my rapist was getting the death penalty… I’d at least feel safer
 
Probably because most people are not bloodthirsty?

Abortion is a different sort of thing.
 
rape is a serious crime

and murder (thats the ONLY time the death penalty is given) is NOT?



why should the rape victim make a decision? does a robbery victim make a decision? does a mugging victim determine the penalty?

Of course murder is always a serious crime.

Capital punishment is a bad thing because the offender may be innocent.

I meant that the rape victim makes a solution:

She can do an abortion if she wants.

Why should my body be held hostage against my will due to the actions of a third party. What about my damn right to personhood???????

Abortion is not a punishment wrought upon the fetus. It is the rape victim exercising their right to make choices affecting their own body in the aftermath of having their right to choice ripped from their hands.
 
Babies can't be aborted. Only fetuses can be aborted.

A rape victim is given the option of abortion on humanitarian grounds. She does not have to choose abortion.

The fetus from a rape carries the genes of a rapist. We don't need those genes in the pool.

And I had no idea that busybody was a woman.
 
I should keep my mouth shut for a change, but WTF...

Capital punishment is bad? Yep and letting those raping, killing, stealing, child molesting sons of bitches live is a good idea? "Oh you might kill the wrong person" That is a definite possibility, but they were probably guilty of something else or they wouldn't have been that easy to convict. In today's world we have finger prints, DNA, and enough checks & balances I think there won't be many mistakes in who we hang. I am a hick, a redneck, an uninformed, small minded idiot who needs more education. Guilty by noon, dead at the end of a rope by sunset. No, I do not think it is playing God or jdging them when only He can do that- I am sending them to the front of His line.

Abortion? when a guy gets pregnant, he can decide what to do about it. Until then, ladies it is your body, you get to make the choice.

Interesting viewpoint. Never thought of that myself. Still, the whole abortion from rape thing is a red herring best not delved into. The rate of conception from a violent rape is actually far less than from ordinary consentual unprotected intercourse, which itself does not occur in most cases from one act. Nature is actually pretty amazing that way. On the very very rare case where a conception were to occur from a violent rape vs. allowing this red herring issue to be fodder for pro-abortion extremists to gain some sort of moral highground in the debate, its not worth it. Let them have the rape exception.

Who says it is a baby? Some people believe that it is a baby the minute the egg is fertilized, some when it can survive outside the womb. If you do not wish to abort it, then keep it and stop whining.

I will go on record as saying that I am pro-choice all the fucking way. My rights to autonomy over my body should not ever be held in abeyance to the possible personhood rights of a human to be. Not fucking ever. (and for the record I have never had nor would I ever have an abortion but I will go toe to toe for the RIGHT to an abortion for any woman who wants one)

Because rape is a horrific and traumatic crime in and of itself, and no woman should be required to carry the child of her rapist for 9 months after being attacked. As others have mentioned, the child carries the DNA of the rapist and was conceived in an act of violence; unless the woman involved wanted to keep her baby, why on earth should the fetus not be aborted? Are we expecting it will grow into a well-adjusted and productive member of society? *snark*

And we do kill some rapists - after they've been convicted and sentenced in court.
