Yet another politician has come forward to say that abortion, even in the case of rape, is wrong because "it is something God intended to happen." No. God did not. I am not a deeply religious person, but do consider myself spiritual and I do not think a child conceived from rape is intended by God. That would mean that the rape itself, the most violating, humiliating, and traumatizing act that a woman can experience, was an act of God...and I personally cannot believe this to be true. The God that I know, believe, and love does not intend for rapes...ever.
The topic of abortion is a sensitive one and everyone is entitled to his or her opinion about the matter, but I personally feel that it is a decision each woman should make on her own after much reflection and thought. The gift of life is the most precious of God's gifts, but when that life is a result of a rape, it is not a gift from God...just an unfortunate consequence from a devastating act.
