Rape and Incest

Actually, just rape. Why are the two so often grouped?

Let's say a woman is kidnapped for over two years. While she is there, her captor rapes her, gets her pregnant, and she gives birth to a baby boy. Should she be allowed to kill this child, who she never wanted in the first place, even if every time she looks at him she is reminded of the rape and kidnapping?


No.

Her inconvenience, or even mental distress or anguish, does not outweigh his life.


I hate ad misericordiams.
