Obviously you know nothing of "pregnancy brain" her test & grade scores would've been in the toilet.

It's not so hard to see many as hateful fanatics when they view a fetus as a parasite. I wonder if their stance on that truly changes even when the baby is born.

Yes, for some women going through the pregnancy is so devastating it can be said to ruin your life. I'm sorry you had to go through the experience of cancer, and sorry that it did not give you the insight to understand how horrifying it can be to harbor something malignant and awful inside yourself. But with cancer, everyone joins you in hoping to get rid of it. People who point and stare don't stop at just pointing. There's a reason why more than 50% of rapes never get reported. Because we blame the women, and because women blame themselves. People think that the fetus isn't to blame, it's innocent, so it's fine to force a woman to incubate a mass of cells for nine months, and the woman should just be able to blithely accept the situation. Afterall, nothing could be more normal. More normal than being brutally assaulted, then to have to nurture the result of that assault within you, month after month, risking your health and life to carry a rapist's child to term. Nothing more normal than that.
We simply differ in opinion. I believe through religious reasons and rationality that a fetus is a human child. If a fetus is a human child, then, in my mind, it cannot be killed for any reason. No amount of emotional appeal is going to sway me; 9 months is not going ruin your life.

That's why I said she should take time off.

No, actually, I'm not speculating about the future. I'm saying we don't know what the future holds, but we do know what right and wrong is in a given situation--that is what is in our control. Speculating that one's life could be worse for not having an abortion as justification for having an abortion is pure speculation.

Evolutionist would have us believe we have no soul and we are just organisms or a cluster of cells. So if that's the case the only thing that constitutes life then is living cells. If that's the case as soon as the sperm meets the egg the DNA process begins and would be considered life even before conception. Religious thoughts on it are well known the only ones bucking the system are the ones refusing to put two and two together.

"Could"... How about a common ground likes of Taliban, and pro-lifers actually "have"? Women can't have a say and mob mentality using religion must rule all.

You know YOUR right and wrong.
Doesn't mean you are right and they are wrong.
Unless of course you thrive on being judge & jury.
Oh wait, your posts seem to do just that!

And speculating that one's life could be better for having to spawn a rapist's seed as justification for having it is pure speculation as well.

Implantation in order to thrive is kinda important though, you know for breeding and all.
