So you think the life of a 10-year-old being sexually assaulted and then having to carry the baby for 9 months is going to make her life better?? She's 10 years old, she was sexually assaulted, and she doesn't know what's happening to her body. Forcing a 10-year-old to give birth is unconscionable.

@manoftruth0935 On the contrary, I was raped by my father when I was 4. So yes I do take the violation of children personally.... Do you not? Do you think sexually assaulting a 10-year-old is something to joke about? The way you're talking about this has no tactfulness. It really doesn't seem like you care about this poor girl who's been sexually assaulted by somebody she trusted. She has a life too!

@rapscallion9333 feminist? It's been used by trade unionists for over a century.... You might want to take some time to learn some history. You also might want to take some time to read the Bible; Numbers 5: 26 - 31

A fetus is not a person yet, and abortion in the case of a mothers health does save a real life, it also helps that women that already has kids, so she can live to raise them. Pro-lifers want to talk about saving lives, but then pump smog in the air leading to shorter life spans and more health complications.

@stephanmaric6796 You think this sexual assault of it 10-year-old is a game??? Are you insane or just socially unaware?

@Billygoatsgrruff Of course I recognize that not every baby is conceived through r.ape/ incest... Duh. I'm not blind. Don't you see that there are many states trying to prevent abortion in all cases including rape and incest. The irony is that they do this with biblical intent, but if you read numbers 5: 26-31 you'd know that the Bible commands abortion in the case of infidelity because it is seen as a trespass on the husband's property, his wife. The biblical intent of aborting illegitimate children is to not transfer property to them. The concern is not about the unborn child, The concern was about infidelity/ trespass and how offspring receive resources from the family. If you read Deuteronomy 22:24, You will see that the Bible punishes a woman who is raped in town but does not scream- I assume they believe that makes her complicit even if her fight/flight/freeze response was freeze. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just seems a little barbaric if you ask me.

@arroeducarlion4990 Considering laws are being put in place to restrict abortion in the cases of rape and incest.... This law is obviously geared at people who have been victims of sexual assault, even if it is a low number, but why you're choosing to support vilifies people who have been abused. The fact that you're okay with defending making a 10-year-old carrier incestual rape baby to term is honestly disgusting. She doesn't know what's happening to her body she was assaulted and now is involuntarily pushed into this predicament. Let the kid be a kid, let her go to school and have friends, rather than being a 11 year old pushing a stroller. The fact that you're still defending this breaks my heart for the victims of sexual assault. But I'm sure you're happy to hear you'll hear more of these articles about underage children being forced to carry to term or sneak out of state to get the medical attention they need.

@bailujen8052 Soooooo... What's the point you're trying to make here?

@manoftruth0935 Exactly, So the sanctity of life is not absolute- You just admitted you're happy to abort a child if there was infidelity It doesn't matter about the child- It is based on the father's paternity. It is a patriarchal system that uses eldest male lineage to transfer property. Forced abortions in the Bible are to decrease the transfer of property to an illegitimate son. But again you don't care about the child's life You only care about the infidelity in which case you're happy to abort the child because the Bible said so. I'm really not sure where you're going with this... It's clearly explained in your Holy book

It's funny how pro-life people are so opposed to measures that decrease the risk of death....

@brendawestley2506 You mean unviable fetuses? Scientifically speaking, they're not babies yet. Don't you know God commands abortion in certain cases? Numbers 5:26-31

@brendawestley2506 I also believe there should be limits, for me I believe in a 2nd trimester limit, unless the mother is in danger. In terms of those exceptional circumstances do you believe abortion in the case of rape and incest should be legally protected? Do you believe abortion should be mandatory for infidelity?

@brendawestley2506 Scientifically speaking, before the second trimester doesn't cause pain to the fetus. If a mother wants to carry to term and have the child be adopted that's fine, but that should never be mandated as it has an effect on currently living people (a fetus is not an independent organism). Also, I find it curious that people just assume the kid wants to be here. Not to mention, over use of resources and pollution by humans will eventually kill the ecosystems that sustain us, so why is cramming more hairless apes on this small planet "pro-life"? I find it ironic that pro-life Republicans are happy to lift EPA regs and pump smog into the air of a new born and it's parents- not saying that's you, but if we want a "happy and healthy" life for the little ones the environment is very important.

@americawheredidyougo1994 you're just making things up. Scientifically, a fetus can react to stimulus through reflex, but there is NO cortex to process pain signals until after 24 weeks (2nd trimester). You can make a severed frog leg move by putting electrode on it to stimulate the nerves- that doesn't mean the dead frog leg feels pain. Why do you assume the fetus wants to be alive? Why should it be born into a bad home with an abusive father? Women who birth an abusive man's child have to interact with the abuser and that hinders the safety of both child and mother. But tell me again how you care about life when you force birth then provide little to no assistance to help them if they are in a bad situation. Also, do you believe in limiting pollution, or are shortened life spans and increased health issues "pro-life"??

I hope you know that the Bible is pro abortion too, Numbers 5: 26 - 31 26The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial e offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children. 29“ ‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.’ ” The sanctity of life is based on the father's paternity, the paternity is not correct and abortion is commanded by God.... And the priest should be the abortion doctor.

@HelloWorld-ns7gt Nope, I actually thought about this- because I am well aware that the Bible's been translated numerous times- So I went to bible hub, each line is shown from a hundred different biblical translations each one was slightly different wording but all demand the chemical miscarriage of an unfaithful pregnancy. For your convenience I will provide multiple translations of Numbers 5: 27; New Living Translation If she has defiled herself by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings on the curse will cause bitter suffering. Her abdomen will swell and her womb will shrink, and her name will become a curse among her people. International Standard Version When he has had her drink the water, if she was defiled and had acted unfaithfully toward her husband, then the contaminated water that brings a curse will enter her and infect her, causing her abdomen to swell and her thigh to waste away. Then she is to be a cursed woman among her people. JPS Tanakh 1917 And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have acted unfaithfully against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away; and the woman shall be a curse among her people. New American Bible Once he has had her drink the water, if she has defiled herself and been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings a curse will enter into her to her bitter hurt, and her belly will swell and her uterus will fall, so that she will become a curse among her people.

No, it's a biblical right, It's literally called the "law of jealousy", Numbers 5: 26 - 31 26The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial e offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children. 29“ ‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.’ ”
