Abortion destroys an innocent human life.
Pregnancies from rape and incest, which are rare, are not reasons for allowing abortion. Abortion in cases of rape or incest hides the crime of incest, which continues to hold the female victim in bondage to the secrecy of molestation. If pregnancy results from rape or incest, the woman should be given the support she needs to carry her pregnancy to term, have the baby, and, if unable to care for the child herself, then place the baby in the loving arms of adoptive parents. Though some may say it is a grave injustice to ask a woman, who conceives through rape to bear a child she does not want, it is an even greater injustice to destroy human life. To do violence to the unborn child will not undo the violence already done to the mother.
