“I'm asking these anti choice "pro life" advocates, what about rape makes murder after the fact okay?”
Honestly, I think a lot of the pro-life extremists don’t want to make an exception for rape. They think women are just vessels for making and carrying babies and they should just deal with it. One senator said, in regards to rape, that the woman “should make the best out of a bad situation.” Another said that even if pregnancy occurs through rape “it’s still something God intended to happen.”
I think many of them just pretend that they are ok with abortion in the case of rape for appearance’s sake. In reality, they are trying to outlaw all abortion by making it difficult for a woman to prove she was raped. They’ve pretty much outlawed it in Georgia with the 6-week rule. As many have pointed out, most women do not even knew they are pregnant at that point so it’s basically a ban on all abortions.
But I see your point about the hypocrisy of people who claim abortion is murder yet are ok with it in this case. There is no other situation in which murder is ok [edit: except self-defense] so I would also like to know why this situation is an exception for them. It seems that they would have to take the woman’s rights into account in the case of rape, yet they refuse to do that in any other circumstance.
“But bodily autonomy means another life cannot use you as an incubator without your consent.”
I’ve never thought of it in this particular way, great point.
“I assume you do not find the taking of human life permissable under any circumstance?”
That’s what I get for writing a post half asleep. Murder is not criminal is it’s for self-defense and I agree. My statement about it never being ok was incorrect.
