[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]"no child conceived in rape is innocent"[/b]

As a rape victim myself, I find this statement extremely troubling.  Perhaps it was just spoken in anger and pain, but I cannot let it go without comment.

A child is innocent of his or her parents' sins and mistakes.  A great deal of evil is visited on innocent children around the world and throughout time due to this mistaken idea that they share the blame for something they did not do.

Should children of rape and incest, when discovered, be executed?  What about children conceived in anger, or revenge, or oppression, or dishonesty, or spite?  Or should they just be ostracized, hated, and ignored?  What about those conceived out of wedlock, or within an unhappy or unbalanced marriage?

No, because they are innocent.  They are children.

Those who are unequivocally pro-life believe life deserves protection from the moment of conception (not implantation) to the moment of natural death.  So causing an abortion of a newly conceived life is the moral equivalent of executing a newborn because her father was a rapist.

This mother put her beliefs in action.  Her daughter agreed with her decision.  All of the mother's children are adopted, and her daughter who was raped may have resulted from rape herself.  She made her choice, and she made it with love.

The death penalty is a separate issue, because it does not involve innocent life.  Saying all children conceived in rape deserve to die is depraved.

For the record, I am pro-life and against the death penalty, and I would do what that mother did.[/quote]

Well, I was 18 and also innocent.  You have no idea what I went through and I prayed for hours and hours that he wouldn't kill me and have spent all the years since, wondering if I wouldn't have been better off if he had and I there are still times when I think I would have been.  So, no, this was not an innocent child to me because, even though my god-awful misguided parents refused to allow me to abort, they preached and preached about the fact that because I was raped by a white man, I must have led him on and that I was ruined forever because no decent man would ever want me.  So, you believe what you want to believe and I will believe what I want to believe.  In my case, I was right, because this bastard child was able to find me and wanted money.  She tried to blackmail me by threatening to tell my husband (thankfully, a decent man did want me and love me)  and my children.  My husband knew but my children did not.  He called the police and reported her.  Some innocent, wasn't she?[/quote]
