for whom is adoption easy? certainly not the child, certainly not the parent; certainly not to the state, and certainly not for the adoptive parents. I was specifically referring to a rape scenario abortion.Why do you equate to the value of the life of the woman? Her life is not at stake here. Very few women nurse their children. If she is distressed at the child's presence, adoption is easy. Your justifications would permit the murder of adult children by their mothers.
I fail to see a clear logical line between my statements (in which were contained no justification for anything beyond abortion in the case of insemination and fertilization via rape) and permitting the murder of adult children by their mothers, which is really just murder by people who have a familial relation (no differnet than fratricide, patricide, or matricide). As such, the horror these crimes induce does not carry over into the legal code--it is not punished more severely by decree, but rather by the discretion of judge and jury.
