    Whats the point of bringing this up when you know full well you are okay with abortions in situations where the mothers life is not threatened

      The mother’s life is not threatened if she is raped and a pregnancy results. Should she be forced to bring that fetus to term?

        It’s an uncomfortable situation but I wouldn’t be opposed as long as there was a police report proving it and wasn’t an excuse to get out of unwanted pregnancies.

          So you’ll force a woman to not only go through the trauma of a police rape investigation, but also expect the police to be honest about whether or not she wanted to get out of a pregnancy that happened due to consensual sex?

          Sounds like a good way to take away a woman’s freedom in the most traumatic way possible.

            If you want to kill a child you should have justification for it other than “it doesn’t feel right”

              I’m pretty sure not wanting to carry the child of your rapist goes beyond “it doesn’t feel right.” The fact that you think the police should be trusted over the woman who was raped shows where you stand when it comes to women.
