Not sure what you're getting at here? Are you insuating that the woman shares an equal guilt to her rapist?
A woman who has been raped and becomes pregnant has not given consent to the violent violation against her body. Natural biology is not a sentence when science has the ability to rectify, in some small way, the trauma. She shares no responsibility of guilt simply because of anatomy.
God gave us brains to overcome harsh weather, famine and disease, why not over procreation?

Why should someone HAVE to take responsibility to "have and raise a child" that they don't want?
Biology. Women have the responsibility because they are the only ones that can produce life. Spreading ones legs is not an invouluntary act.
It is deliberate.
As for rape? Like I previously stated, why should the child be punished by death for something that wasn't his/her fault?
A moral dilema and a personal one. Countless stories are avaliable that describe cases where a mother brought to term and dies, as well as an unborn baby dying so that the mother could live.

Then let me ask you this....If a woman has an abortion to save her life, is it ok?....or should the death of both be prefered.
God gave us brains so we could fool ourselves that some "legal" term would make it okay to kill unborn babies also.

Which life has more value?
More potential?
You provided the scenario, provide details.

I don't like your god. You think that taking control over ones biology, and telling nature, "Oh no you don't" is a sin. Is your god the same one that created a hell for us too?

I will ask the question again since i got no answer. It is directed mostly at Neo96 and Beezer.
There is a good chance that the majority of these aborted, unwanted children would end up in government programs if they were born.
Dont you think its hippocritical to constantly complain about entitlement programs but then turn around and demand that millions of unwanted children be born to mothers that possibly cant afford it?
I wonder who will pay for all these extra children and who will be complaining about it?

Bull. I stated the opposite.
Sex is NOT an invouluntary act.
It is a deliberate one.

Why should be killing human life with no mind (unsentient life) wrong? I dont see anything wrong or immoral with killing unsentient life, regardless of its genetic code. You have not justified why it should be wrong.
No mind, no person, no victim, no crime.
Victimless acts should not be illegal.
