Chaim. Thank you for answering my abortion question.
Pardon me, but I have to disagree with you about rape and abortions. You mean to tell us (or in fact, possibly the Rabbis (blessed memories) mean to tell us) that if a black savage (or white savage) violently raped their daughter (Gd forbid Gd forbid!) virgin or married, young teen or older, had to keep the fetus, even if in her mind it were deep inside against her wishes?! I understand your arguement that the fetus is innocent, but that the savage rapist should be given the death penalty. However, if it were my daughter or your daughter or wife(!), GD forbid (!) GD forbid (!) bite our tongues (!), and she was distraught from all this, I would hate to say it, but that fetus, although innocent, would be like the very "rodef" that the rabbis ruled could be aborted if the woman's life were in danger like death. I feel that in the vast majority of cases, if that woman were forced to give birth to that savage's baby, she would die inside. The Rabbis, a blessed memory, were all men. How can they think for a woman in a situation for rape? It doesn't make sense.
