a child of a rape victim is innocent though, why kill that kid over the rapist's actions?
i'd say give the rapist the death penalty instead. throw a fcking lightning fury bolt at him
I mean that's into the realm of whether you think an unborn child is alive to be killed. In the way that we view killing in society.
We may not actually disagree on that.
It's more about what kind of life will that child have and what are the knock on effects for society and future generations.
Is it perpetuating suffering for mother and child.
To steelman an opposing point would be something like, well why not take a chance? The child could beat adversity.
As for death penalty for rape. In theory absolutely. Practically, not at all. With all fake accusation and poor conviction rate of actual rapists it probably would be a mistake.
