re: #481 Salamantis

If women who become pregnant as a result of rape were denied the optiion of abortion but instead were forced to carry the pregnancy to term against their will, it would have the effect of empowering rapist stalkers, whose obsessive fixation with their targets of desire could prompt them to rape without caring for personal consequences, so long as a pregnancy resulted, because they would then be henceforth and forever genetically tied to the victims of their sick sexual predations. I can foresee them engaging in such extraordinary measure as checking their targets’ garbage to ascertain when they were in the fertile period in their menstrual cycle, so as to plan to perpetrate their rape during the most propitious time.

I can also foresee such twisted individuals subsequently abusing the court system to demand visitation rights as the natural father.

I can certainly see that scenario happening. What I can’t see is why it would morally justify the “murder” of a child, in pro-life parlance.
