The Woman And The Babies

Truthfully, I cannot say that I’m pro or anti abortion. I feel like not everything is black or white, that there are shades of grey. If a woman is raped and gets pregnant, what right do we have to force her to have the baby of a rapist in a nonconsensual act? On the other hand, I also don’t believe that it shouldn’t be a method of contraception for being irresponsible.

If we’re going to kill one of them, it doesn’t matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.”

The lady was horrified and said: “No doctor! How terrible! It’s a crime to kill a child!”

“I agree”, the doctor replied. “But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.”

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that’s already been born and one that’s still in the womb. The crime is the same…
