I am pro-life. I'm not real sure how I feel about the rape issue and I know that it would be hard to have a baby by a rapist but is the child's potential life any less meaningful? I don't like to hear that people have their reasons for not wanting to bear children. Then either do not have sex(because we all know what some possibilities of having sex are), get "fixed" or give the baby to someone who would love it and cherish it as it should be. As soon as the life is created, it is just that, life. Who is to say at what point life is worth anything. I believe that being able to help give life is the most wonderful gift God could give us. I do not have children yet but if I were to have one before I want to, then that is the consequence of my action and more importantly it is also my responsiblity. Life is about dealing with the consequences of our own actions be it good, bad, or otherwise. Outside of rape, the choice comes before you lay down to have sex.
I sincerely do not want to offend nor argue but I just wanted to post my opinion.
