[on a pregnant 10 year year old rape victim being denied an abortion]

If you accept that the child in the womb is a human being and not essentially different from one outside of the womb then the picture is not as clear as abortion advocates make out.

If there is an abortion there is a 100% chance of one life being lost. If the girl goes ahead with the birth then there is a risk that she and/or the baby will die. Although the birth is risky the probability of her death is much less than the certain death of the baby in an abortion.

This is certainly a dreadful situation for the girl, to have been raped and now bearing a child by her abuser. There is no way of making that right. But killing the baby, who is innocent, is also not right and in my view the greater evil.

For anyone who watched the film Precious, do you think she should have had abortions to rid herself of the children forced upon her by her own father?
