Is abortion for raped victims allowed ?

I see no further point in discussing this with someone who would rather lean upon their own understanding by muddying the waters then accept the black and white truth presented in the Word of God.

Abortion is murder. Across the board. Pretty black and white.

The Bible never mentions abortion at all, of the type currently being practiced.

So therefore it is you that is leaning upon your own understanding.

The closest thing that I find in the Bible concerning a potential voluntary abortion is when Jesus said of Judas that "It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

Two other Bible verses should also be noted:

Genesis 38:24 And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry.” So Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!”

Leviticus 21:9 ‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire."

Since the daughter of a priest would not advertise her fornication, the most likely case of her exposure would be like that of Tamar: she is found to be pregnant.

The penalty was death, which would include both the woman and her unborn child.

So in some OT cases, the killing of unborn Israelite children was sanctioned.

"Jewish tradition is sensitive to the sanctity of life, and does not permit abortion on demand. However, it sanctions abortion under some circumstances because it does not regard the fetus as an autonomous person. This is based partly on the Bible (Exodus 21:22-23), which prescribes monetary damages where a person injures a pregnant woman, causing a miscarriage. The Mishnah (Ohalot 7:6) explicitly indicates that one is to abort a fetus if the continuation of pregnancy might imperil the life of the mother. Later authorities have differed as to how far we might go in defining the peril to the mother in order to justify an abortion. The Rabbinical Assembly Committee on Jewish Law and Standards takes the view that an abortion is justifiable if a continuation of pregnancy might cause the mother severe physical or psychological harm, or when the fetus is judged by competent medical opinion as severely defective. The fetus is a life in the process of development, and the decision to abort it should never be taken lightly. "

No one hears about abortion after rape, because up until now, it wasn't a political football. 

Rapes in homes, on the street especially with under age girls and legal women ...the abortion is conducted privately as opposed to the news media debating the issue. All other matters concerning the rape are handled by the legal system.  

The Democrats have no business bringing up an Ohio matter when they themselves don't know the issues surrounding the rape. 

Every hospital in America doesn't call a press conference concerning an abortion because of a rape. No one knows except for the small circle of influence that the victim and the rapist are involved in. 

It's better to let the legal system decide what to do about the rape and the victim. States across the county have dealt with a neighboring state when the pregnancy has gone past the restrictions of state law. 

Fortunately no one shouts it from the rooftops. In other words, leave it alone and let the state's deal with the issue. That's why there will be 50 different laws.

In all fairness, the issue regarding the juvenile was publicized and thus politicized by a Republican Attorney General. This individual has created a dog and pony show surrounding this horrible affair, so little wonder a media circus is the result. 

The danger of political thinking is thus: the one who politicizes non-political matters is blinded. Those who follow them end up in the ditch.

My point being ... this happens all the time. It became a political football because of the SCOTUS decision.

My wife was the Head Nurse at the largest Maternity Department in the largest hospital in Birmingham. She made many calls to Atlanta to have a  rape victim or incest victim transported by the state to get the abortion and then be brought back to Alabama.

I suggest it was publicized by the group afraid that they will lose the right to abortion.. the left. it has also been publicized by those who see the harm in open borders since the one impregnating daughter and mother was  not one who came in the legal way and has a history of this behavior.

Deuteronomy 22:28
Easy-to-Read Version
28 “A man might find a virgin girl who is not engaged and force her to have sexual relations with him. If other people see this happen

 

That describe Rape.

not keeping up is there a basic summary?
