Scarecrow Akhbar said:And my heart bleeds for them, then. Why is a person not present at the time of the crime being executed, especially when the punishment of rape is typically a short stint in jail? Couldnt the baby serve ninth months then be released for time served and ten years probabtion? They almost never repeat the crime they didn't do before then.
Perforted condoms is a subset of the class of causes known as "failed contraception". And if the manufacturer of the condom is not subject to execution when they fail, why is a person not in existence when the material failure occured required to pay the maximum penalty?
Damn, there's that "P" word. More koi koming soon!
Careless slut might work. Bimbo has lots of fun possibilities. Lots of possibilities if you're into labels. The relevant question is "why does the baby have to pay the price", not "what should we call the careless one?"
I deliberately set a distinction between "birth control" and "condoms", because things like the Pill, Depo Provera, IUDs, etc., do not protect against STDs, and condoms do, to a certain extent at least.
Fetuses/babies created as a result of rape....my personal opinion on this, if I were raped, I certainly wouldn't want to keep a child when I don't know anything about the father, or his medical history, and I couldn't give a child produced through rape up for adoption, either, again because of the lack of a complete parental medical history. I couldn't just pass on a child to some other person/couple and not give them any clue as to what potential illnesses/disorders/etc the child could be at risk for.
And in any case, why should a child have to sit in an orphanage waiting to be adopted, hating themselves because obviously their parents hated them if they gave them away, wondering if anyone can love them if their biological parents couldn't? Why should they feel like a lesser person because they don't have a "real" mommy and daddy?
No one's asking a "baby" to pay a price, unless we're talking about this hypothetical child given up for adoption (see above), or a pregnancy terminated after 23 weeks (other than a natural miscarriage). As I've stated before, for the purposes of debating about abortion, I don't consider a fetus a "baby" until after 23 weeks, when it actually has the possibility of sustaining life on its own, outside of the womb, without the aid of respirators (though respirators are sometimes needed, but that's always a possibility....I myself was born by C-section at 32 weeks, to save my life, and was on a respirator and in an incubator for a good month).
