11-year-old Gang-Rape Victim: Should She Be Able To Legally Abort?

[Rusha]

You're such a child, Patrick Jane. Children do get raped. Incest does happen. The world is sick sometimes. That doesn't mean that adults shouldn't tackle difficult topics.

The poll is quite revealing ... insofar that IF one is truly against abortion because they believe it harms an unborn baby, they would not allow exceptions based on the mother's identity and/or how the pregnancy was conceived.

You are absolutely right and I'll go one step further, "thou shalt not kill"

True, and it's best to try and talk through them constructively as much as possible. If the yardsticks are one or the other as in the latest thread then I'd have to be on the "side" that would allow an abortion, or at least wouldn't force an eleven year old child to go through conceiving.
