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

The AFA is an organization that continually makes my blood boil and prods me into howling rage with alarming regularity. Take for instance an asshat by the name of Dr. Alex McFarland who explores the question of whether abortion is ever a right. His conclusion? Nope. Not even under the most horrific of circumstances.

That is one of the most monstrous and cruel goddamn things I've ever heard. What is on display here is zero empathy or humanity toward victims of either rape or incest. A fertilized egg equals life to these people, but they don't give a fuck about an actual human suffering through something so soul-wrenching and wretched that we cannot even imagine it.
But wait! He also tells us what Christians can do about abortion:
I wonder if prayers have the power to change shitty people into something resembling a decent human being with empathy and compassion.

Quote:6. Society should not force women who are pregnant from rape or incest to continue their pregnancies. Do you see a pattern here? This argument also sidesteps the question of whether or not the fetus is a person—an innocent human being with rights of its own. No one is saying that rape and incest are acceptable—they most certainly are not—but as the old saying goes, two wrongs don’t make a right. Why kill a child made in God’s image?

Quote:3. We should not neglect the power of prayer when it comes to the issue of abortion, as well as the issue of getting along with one another.
