Mnay people dont agree with abortions, me i dont believe in them but then theres that other thing in my head i cant get out!! WHAT IF A WOMAN WAS RAPPED?? and she wants to get an abortion? would you still be anti abortionist, or will you limit your stance to this not only crime but horrible action(to kill your own child) and some peopl may say well its not a child yet because its not born yet or it dosent have its full form yet. well you can hear the babies heart beat as early as 12 weeks into pregnancy and im not possitive but maybe earlier so if the baby had a heart beat then how is it not living???? what is your say in this???

I do not support abortion (murder). If a woman is raped, then she can either keep the child or give it up for adoption.
James Robison is an evangelist/missionary and he was conceived by rape. He mother was raped and so many people were wanting her to get an abortion. She decided against it and raised her child. He is a wonderful Christian who is doing great things. God has a plan for every life. We do NOT have the right to take the life of an unborn child!

A child is not actually a child until three months after conception. There is no heartbeat, no lung functions, nothing until three months. An embryo is not a child, a fetus is a child.

It is a human being from conception. The Bible says that God knew us before we were even born and that we were fearfully and wonderfully made.
Abortion is murder plain and simple.

Why shouldn't the woman be able to terminate the pregnancy because she was raped? What if she was involved in incest (not consensually) and what's to terminate the pregnancy? What if the child was sick and the child being sick was endangering the life of the mother as well? Why should she not be allowed to continue to be healthy? You can't limit abortion to one thing. If you're going to allow a woman to abort for rape, it has to be legal across the board. Regardless of the situation, the woman should have the right to choose what she wishes to do.

I don't think "heartbeat" equals life. It is living in the most rudimentary sense, but I don't believe a being is truly alive unless it is thinking, feeling and sentient. Sentience is life. A fetus doesn't develop brain activity until well into the second trimester, which is long after voluntary abortion is legal.

That is true. It is still a human being that would be born given the chance. Even if a girl has been raped, half the babies genes are coming from the girl, and even though it is still a baby it has the right of letting nature taking its course and letting it live and grow into another human being.
