I don't agree with this but it seems like many here would with the backwards thinking I am seeing in this thread. You can believe whatever you want, but if you are trying to make a law based on your religious belief then it seems as though you are crossing a line, because there is a big chance that I don't believe what you believe. So don't force your beliefs on me. If you have a problem with it, pray for me, and in the end I will deal with God on my own. I don't need your laws, guidance, or approval for that.

It's not that the guy who raped the woman should have a choice in whether the baby is aborted or not, it's that no one should have a choice of whether or not to kill their baby. The baby should be allowed to live without any consent from the mother or the father.
You tell me not to press my beliefs on others, and not to fuse my beliefs with the laws, but aren't you trying to do the same thing? Except you're belief is that abortion should be legal and that it's not murder.
