Abortion in the cases of rape

[Melanie]

Its a rather cheap one-liner but I must ask: We don't execute rapists in this country do we?

......and it is okay to execute the innocent??.... I presume is the bottom line.

I'm with Scarlett O. and MK on this one, by and large. I would only support the legality of abortion if the life of the mother was in danger eg: here

This is an issue where so many Christians have decided to park themselves in the grey area, because it's easier. It's HARD to stand against abortion. Many people think those who are pro-life are hard-hearted and unfeeling and want to strip away women's rights. (I'm having this very discussion with our daughter right now).

Killing an innocent baby will not change the fact that another innocent person was raped. It will not erase the guilt, the horror, the fear....none of it. Aborting the possible results, the baby, will not change what happened. It will only ADD to the guilt, confusion, and horror.

GOD ALMIGHTY DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES! If a young woman, a teenager, becomes pregnant because of rape God has a purpose in it. Bowing to the lies of Satan and murdering that baby makes us guilty of murder.

There is no grey areas with God. There is right and there is wrong. Exodus 20:13 says, "Thou shalt not kill." It doesn't say, except..... and then give a list of things where it's okay to do so.

We wonder why our nation has slipped such moral decline....when did evil become good and good become evil? It's because CHRISTIANS have stopped standing for what GOD says is right, no matter how difficult the decision. God never promised following Him would be easy, just that it would be worth it.
