re: What would you say to a Yazidi woman raped by ISIS who wanted an abortion?

You know, a lot of children conceived out of bad or traumatic situations are loved and cherished by their mothers and aren't viewed as some sort of torture device.

Just a thought.

And many aren't.

Child protective services didn't spring up from a love well.

If God punishes women that were impregnated against their will in the sick crime known as rape and whom choose to not bring that baby into the world, I don't want to believe in that God.

I would tell her not to have the abortion. I would then propose to her and raise the child as my own.

Would you raise the kid to honor his fathers religion and take him to mosques and teach him about the Islamic faith? Would you respect the culture of his father - the rapist - that the west is terrible and against all he stood for?

Yes! Yes! Oh allah, YES!

Aside from the angry ranting and cursing that you've littered this thread with, murder is wrong no matter the circumstance. In a lot of peoples opinion, a baby is indeed a person so killing them is murder based in that they did nothing except exist. It doesn't really have to do with hating that poor woman. In fact I spend much of my time working with youth who have been sexually abused and/or raped. I understand that pain and understand that damage. I still however don't feel that killing someone without cause is justifiable.


Similar to the argument made for homosexuals in that they shouldn't be hated, killed, mocked, etc for something they did not choose, I feel it's wrong to terminate a child who had no choice in the matter at all.


As for the constant reminder, there are plenty of women who had children by husbands that beat them. Does that mean that they should be allowed to kill that child because it reminds them of the abuse?


Lastly, with regards to the whole idea that God arranges rape for his glory is not exactly the way it is. People do evil to others and god doesn't like it. People have a free will and do evil things to each other. In a Christians opinion, god hates sin such as rape for example, but he can bring positive things out of a negative situation.


Bringing a positive thing out of an awful situation =/= sanctioning or arranging said awful situation.

Pretty cold and callous if you ask me.

Reassure her that the CIA will raise and train him to be a vengeful, ninja, death dealing wraith that will avenge his mother and dispense some good ol' American whoopass on those frickers and their kids, and kid's kids, and their kid's kid's kids. And give her the book and movie rights.

I would say dramatic anecdotes have nothing to do with the fact that 90% of abortions in the US are done for frivolous reasons, mostly that whores who can't stay off their backs and/or are too lazy to use any of the zillion methods of birth control readily available use abortion as a back stop for birth control.
