Right, can any of you explain to me how prescribing an adoption would cure an ectopic pregnancy?

Well considering the fact that the fetus implanting there won't survive to begin with, its fine to abort that, considering nothing will come from it but the mothers potential death
Im a slightly Authoritarian Moderate, I believe limited monarchies are the best systems of government, and that every 2016 presidential candidate was an idiot.
I personally feel that most people, in the act of trying to sound smart, often usually don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

A women whose a victim of rape or incest should be forced to carry the child to term? In the case of toxic pregnancy the life of the fetus is more important and therefore the mother allowed to die?

You're asking whether or not a mother should put her child's life above her own?

I don't know. I only know a parent has a duty to die for his or her child, whereas a child has no duty to die for his or her parents.

As soon as you explain how a rape victim aborting her child will un-rape her.

Forcing the woman to go through with a pregnancy she did not want is another person is forcing that already-traumatised woman to do something with her body that she would not choose to do.

It is taking the woman's control of her body away from her and giving it to another party.

Ring any bells?

An abortion cannot "un-rape-her". Denying her an abortion could revictimise her (where the woman feels "re-raped" by medical professionals or law enforcement)

Even a subsequent, voluntary pregnancy with a partner can be dangerously traumatic to a former rape victim.

Carrying a rapist's baby, against her will, can be harmful to the woman. And the foetus. Children of rape often have more problems (including PTSD, depression and anxiety).

A 14 year old girl denied abortion in Paraguay where it is completely illegal and dying in childbirth?

A few years ago a ten year old in Paraguay was denied a abortion after being raped by her stepfather. You have no issue with that either?

They have said abortion ought to be illegal in all cases. There are two examples why it should not.

Nice sidestep.

Depression, PTSD and anxiety can be -- I imagine --hellish illnesses to endure, and I'm not sure I'd want to wish them on a foetus. I am not advocating abortion, if such things run in the family. That is a choice for the woman alone.

As it is for the woman to choose if it would help her trauma to abort the result of rape.

Now a question for the pro-lifers: if you knew a woman would definitely commit suicide -- or die in childbirth like the fourteen-year-old minor in Paraguay -- would you still deny a rape victim an abortion?

Would you deny her an abortion, even if the victim was very young girl, like this other rape victim in Paraguay (who did survive).

Are you saying we shouldn’t give a shit what the rape victim thinks about her own emotional integrity?

Cuz I be hearing that.

And not really a victim, honestly. If we consider the degree of trauma involved.
