Why do you think killing her unborn child would show her that God loved her? Children, all of them, are the heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. He knows that child in the womb. Have mercy.
I do not consider a young fetus a child.
God considers a fetus a person, e.g. Jeremiah 1:5.
You don't question personhood; it's obvious that you deny it for the unborn. Are you against the fetal homicide laws in the U.S., too? Would you punish the victims of fetal homicide by denying them justice because you don't think a person was murdered?
The life of the mother should at all times be the first consideration. Any woman who was raped should be able to abort no matter what age she is.
The life of the mother is not threatened by pregnancy or birth
because of rape. The fact the child was conceived through an act rape is irrelevant, just as it would be if it was statutory rape of a 14 year old who consented to having sex with an 18 year old and wanted to keep her baby. An eleven year who can conceive can also remain pregnant and give birth.
Again, an ACORN is not a Oak Tree.
Careful with arguments like that. An old, diseased, dying oak tree who needs medications to survive, who is a burden on the forest and would serve it better by becoming compost, may someday be perceived less valuable than a healthy oak tree.
Regardless, a rapidly developing fetus cannot be compared to an acorn. At best, you can compare it to the sprouted acorn, which is a rapidly developing oak tree sapling.
Lets decide when a fetus is a child before you make any judgements.
The scriptures and the fetal homicide laws don't convince you a unborn human being is a person, but you find your irrational acorn versus oak tree comparison compelling?
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Does this tell you anything?
Yes. It tells me that you don't understand the life is in the blood according to scripture, that you don't grasp the unborn child has it's own blood supply, and you apparently believe God doesn't give them life until they breath independently. You are implying all people are created in the same way Adam was created.
