And what if the child says they would've preferred death? You don't believe in assisted suicide, do you? Okay, that's going off topic...
Yeah, in the case of rape, it's hard to say. In this case, I'd let it be up to the mother. (Pro-choice, if you'd prefer to call it that.) If the mother's life is in danger, then of course she should have an abortion. If she dies, the fetus dies; if the fetus is aborted, however, the mother can still live. That isn't a matter of morality, it's about common sense: one death vs. two deaths. It's really a no brainer. In any case besides those two, though... USE A FUCKING CONDOM IF YOU DON'T WANT A CHILD!
