It is either murder or it isn't.....in the eyes of the law.  Can't have it both ways. Here is YOUR logic: If a child was conceived by consenting adults, it would be MURDER to kill the child.  The Child is Innocent, so the child's life should be protected. If a child was NOT conceived by consenting adults.  The child is Guilty and the child  should be Put To Death.  Not the rapist or the person who committed incest, should be killed.....the CHILD is the guilty ONE, so the CHILD should be put to DEATH. Where is the logic in that????  Where is the Attorney for the Child's rights??? How many of YOU are here today, as a result of an UNPLANNED PREGNANCY???  (If you don't know, just ask your Mommy and/or your Daddy.....better yet, ask close relatives like Aunties and Uncles, Grandma' and Grandpa's, who are more likely to tell the truth.)    If YOUR CONCEPTION was UNplanned should YOU have been put to DEATH....legally??? For Milleniums, abortion was always deemed MURDER.  Babies from unplanned pregnancies, where the child is not wanted, would be put up for ADOPTION to couples who dream of having a child of their own, but they can not conceive, so they will shower an adopted child with LOVE.  They weep every time they hear of an abortion. UPDATE: I think this subject is a mute point.  There is such a thing as "the morning after pill" that a woman can take who has been raped, to ensure no child is conceived.
