there are theories that violence can be passed down in some way through genes.
Would you take the risk that your child would turn out violence and possibly rape others?
I know if i were woman, and I were raped, I'd try to get a morning after pill ASAP.

Yeah I hear that. That's very disgusting and repulsive. They should have their licenses revoked IMHO. There was recently a story about an abortion doctor who used to keep fetuses in the employee frdige and eat them for lunch.maha said:I heard a really sick story from a third party that had to do with the techncians at an abortion clinic. I don't know if it was true or if it is just an urban myth, but it's pretty appalling to say the least. I also don't know if the story is congruent with how the abortion process works, so I don't know if it is even a possibility that something like this could happen...but...
...Allegedly an employee at an abortion clinic claimed that some of the other doctors and technicians would take the aborted fetus's and play with their bodies like marionettes--dangling them by the arms and otherwise playing with them like dolls as if they were some sort of demented puppeteer. Again, I don't know if the fetus in its early stages of development would even be able to be handled in such a way after it was aborted, but it is an incredibly disgusting and sadistic thing to do if the story is true.
I wouldn't put it past a person (or people) to do something like that. When you deal with the deaths of babies everyday, you probably become desensitized to the humanity of it all. I know that emergency room doctors engage in random conversations, sometimes even laughing hysterically, as they are trying to save dying patients. It's just kind of sad that people can deaden themselves to the suffering of others...no matter what the circumstances. I'm pro-choice, but stories like that don't make it easy for me.

I can't remember which big site I found the original article on, but here is what i did find:Jetgirl said:Link, and/or support?

People who inherit AIDs, or diseases didn't choose to get them. Same with the "violence" gene. Who knows? It may not exist. But if it did, would it change your mind about abortion? Ya know, bringing an already angry soul into the world who could possibly rape others? It kinda sens the message rape is ok.
Steve_SandbachBaptist_UK said:Being raped a choice, but aborting a child is. Even the produce of a rapist is sacred and should be treated as such. I can understand the woman wanting to abort a child who was conceived via rape but I wouldn't encourage anyone to do it.
If you asked the majority of people who were conceived through a rape whether they wish they'd been aborted, I doubt many would say "yes".
Seeking... said:Whether the child is sacred or not has little to do with whether or not the traumatized woman is capable of carrying such a child to term. What you don't seem to understand is that despite a belief in God(s), therapy, and a belief in the sanctity of life - some women will not be able to carry a non-consensual pregnancy to term. They would rather die first.
I simply cannot equate the non-viable life of a early term fetus with that of its mother. Her needs, whether physical, emotional, spiritial or material take precedence.

All this is irrelevant to the fact that unborn children, those having those heart attacks, those who drown and can be resuscitated, all have the key element that makes them a human being - living, self-replicating, 100% complete human DNA; the essence of what life is and, more specifically, what human life is.
I can understand that a human being who comes into the world through an act of rape is a reminder of a traumatic incident with probably many scars attendant to it, but that human being did not ask to come into the world in such a way either and is also a victim, as is the woman. Please consider this child.

As George Carlin said, "Life is sacred? Who said so? God? If you read history you'll see that god is one of the leading causes of death!"Even the produce of a rapist is sacred
I agree completely.I simply cannot equate the non-viable life of a early term fetus with that of its mother. Her needs, whether physical, emotional, spiritial or material take precedence
There is no CHILD to consider. The embryo would not have an opinion on whether or not it surives as it has no sentience. This is a redundant point.I can understand that a human being who comes into the world through an act of rape is a reminder of a traumatic incident with probably many scars attendant to it, but that human being did not ask to come into the world in such a way either and is also a victim, as is the woman. Please consider this child.
Isn't there a pro-choice argument like this that uses the analogy of forcing somebody to share a kidney with a famous violinist? I can;t remember how it goes off-hand.A person on a respirator isn't the same, they aren't attached to another person's body against their will.

Seeking... said:I don't assume that a non-viable baby is less human. It is still a child, but it is not in the same position as someone who has a heart attack or drowns. That non-viable baby is inside of another living person who must deal with the fact that it is there every second of her life. The fact that the child is there is a continuing violation and a reminder of the initial violation that put it there. For some women, looking at her changing body would be a constant reminder that some man saw her as a human receptacle. She was powerless to prevent the assault and if abortion were illegal - she'd be powerless again. It simply isn't about the child. If a woman is able to bear the pain and is willing to - fine, support her through her pregnancy. But if she is not capable - do not force her to carry such a pregnancy to term. I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn't make it. I rather take a long walk off a short ledge than walk around for nine months being aware every moment that I had no rights to my own body. A person on a respirator isn't the same, they aren't attached to another person's body against their will.
