The legal reasoning incorporated into the law is based on what Saint Thomas Aquinas explains about the conditions for legitimately defending innocent parties against unjust attacks. We would be wiser people if we had some knowledge and background before spouting our personal opinions.

When a woman has an abortion because she was raped, she is subjected to a second form of violence on top of the violent crime of rape. And why would God want to punish a little one by having his/her life taken because of the sin of his/her father? Totally unjustifiable. The situation of saving the life of the mother is so remote as to seem puzzling if not laughable. That's buying into part of the pro-abort mentality that was established prior to 1973.

I'm happy to see that this organization doesn't believe that murdering someone because of your religious beliefs is justifiable. Although I do not share your views on abortion, I am relieved that you have set standards and actually live by your own Christian moral code. Thank you for denouncing the comments of Mr Terry.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize that it has the potential to lead us towards a historic change on abortion. There is much debate about grandfather's consent when the mother who is getting an abortion is a minor. However, I never hear anything about father's consent. Here's the no brainer thing that came to me: If a woman gives a man permission to create something, then shouldn't she be required to prove that she has his permission to destroy it? In other words, shouldn't the father of the unborn child be required to go down to the abortion clinic and sign an abortion consent form? (the exception to this requirement would be rape or abortion that's needed to save the life of the mother) This proposed requirement (that a father's signature be obtained) seems trivial on the surface, but it will later help everyone come to understand that abortion, in most cases, is actually the MAN making a choice to let his own offspring be killed. Then once everyone understands that, a historic breakthrough can finally be made.
