Now let's expand that and place into the accounting the possibility that there's a ten fold under reporting of the number of forcible rapes in the U.S. That would give us the figure of 2,500-5,000 victims of rape who would become pregnant in a given year. Thus, to bring rape into the question of abortion is camouflage, a smoke screen, a cover-op. To have a sound policy towards the rape victim, we should not have abortion as its cornerstone. We should have a caring, sensitive assistance towards those young women who need our help in this particularly traumatic situation. There are two victims - the woman and her unborn child.
Every abortion kills a living and growing baby.
Abortion, a second act of violence, is not a solution to problem pregnancy due to rape. Abortion causes a woman its own devastating psychological and emotional trauma. Aborting an innocent unborn child will never correct the pathology nor mend the hurts. The problems exist with or without pregnancy - with or without abortion. Regardless of the circumstances of conception, every abortion kills an innocent, unborn child.
