So WELL written and echoes many of my own values on abortion.

"Society’s position on abortion is a mirror to its moral health." Truuuuuuuth.

The crunchiest part of thIS conversation (that I fINd IS usually avoided - so I commend you for your courage to go tHere) IS: "exceptions". I have gone tHere, and needless to say it offended a lot of people (which I AM personally okay with).

The Truth IS …. abortion IS never necessary.

While some circumstances may BE and are unfortunate, none justify killINg an INnocent Child.

Such circumstance IS when a pregnancy IS caused by or IS the product of INcest and / or rape.

ABORTION IS UNEQUIVOCALLY MURDER.

Abortion kills a person. Abortion after rape IS a contINuation of violence. It provides no sINcere healINg, and it leads Women to BElieve that the “remINder” of the rape IS gone and tHerefore that the trauma of the rape has BEen resolved.

WE All feel deep compassion for any Woman who has BEen a victim of rape or INcest. However, the simple reality IS that abortion does not erase the INitial violation, it simply perpetuates and metastasizes it. The tragedy IN thIS case, circumstance and context IS the rape or INcest itSelf ― not the Child. THere IS evidence that victims of rape who get abortions experience regret for their Choice. However, victims of rape who Choose to see their pregnancy through do not regret their Choice.

Despite the fact that the conception of thIS Child was not INnocent, the Child itSelf IS INnocent. The Child should not BE punished and persecuted, for they are not a sINner. Women who are IN thIS position need to affirm that the Child IS an INNOCENT and BELoved PERSON, BEcause that IS The Truth. Rape violates the sacred dignity of the sexual act itSelf, however it has no BEarINg on the sacred dignity of the NEW LIFE.

To quote Dr. David Reardon, a full-time researcher on the impact of abortion on Women “both the MotHER and Child are helped by preservINg Life, not by perpetuatINg violence.”

Abortion IS irrevocably a form of state-sanctioned feticide that society only grants doctors as part of their responsibility “to protect and promote the health of the public.”

That’s the caveat.

Feticide IS a legal event and tHerefore a crimINal offence, wHereas abortion IS a medical event and tHerefore an altruistic occurrence.

Thank you for havINg and holdINg thIS conversation! God Bless.
