AFA: Impregnated by a rapist? "Why kill a child made in God’s image?"

He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree by Southern Evangelical Seminary in May, 2006, awarded, "In recognition of significant spewing of bullshit and idiocy."

Fixed that for you.

Also, giving birth can be fatal.

18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”- Numbers 5:18-22

9:17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

[Strider]

Gotta love twisted evangelical/conservative logic.

[Elskidor]

Sounds like this Dr. needs to aborted.

That's a favorite picture of mine. So true.

I've always wondered why a "life" conceived by a sexual assaulter is worth less than one conceived with full consent - Are people implying that someone's worth is dictated by who conceives you?

[Minimalist]

That determination needs to be made by the victim carrying it around. Not some sanctimonious religious fuckwit with a big mouth and no social conscience.

The better question is what makes someone a 'person'? The victim of a sexual assault is a person because she has a brain that can think or feel. A mass of cells without a brain is not
