Quote:In a tribal style of society, how many women who get pregnant from a rape are actually willing to nurture that baby?
How many would try to get an abortion that could also end up killing themselves? Doesn't look so great as an effective way to reproduce, huh?
This is what I thought when I read Randy's comment about rape. Abortion and infanticide have been around a long time. Using rape to increase the human species is inefficient as mothers are the ones who have to actually give birth and care for the child that they are carrying. It is actually more logical to make certain that the future mother wants an infant so she will take care of it.
Please not the "if" in the first sentence. It's obviously a hypothetical...
