“Then there’s
the question of what to do if rape leads to pregnancy. Should there be a death
penalty for rape? In the U.S., few advocate executing the rapist. Under
Shariah, the rape victim might be executed, at least if she is not pregnant.
But what about the rapist’s baby?
What happens in
an abortion? A woman’s body is penetrated by instruments, usually in the hands
of a man. The woman will have signed a consent form – but all too often because
she felt she had “no choice.” The procedure is painful and bloody. Occasionally,
serious physical injury occurs, sometimes even causing death of the mother.
Judging from the million or so postings on the nonjudgmental website
afterabortion.com, long-term emotional consequences are not uncommon, whatever
official medical publications might say.
This procedure
is almost always “legitimate” (legal) in the U.S. by order of the U.S. Supreme
Court. It is the most common elective surgical procedure. We have lost as much
as one-third of our younger generation because of it. The vast majority of
Americans have been touched by it in some way. Of course it is emotional and
divisive.”
