According to the US
Legal Definition, rape is defined as a criminal offense in most states as forcible
sexual relations with
a person against
that person's will.
The definition varies from state to state, but the general concept is all the same. The lack of consent must be present but in
the case of a minor, the definition of consent changes. If a man rapes and
woman and she becomes pregnant, the crime he committed was rape. The woman, who
is the victim, committed no crime. Now there is a product of that rape and it
happens to be human being. Why is that child being sentenced to the death penalty
(abortion)? Why is someone else’s life an exception because a man committed a
crime? The woman who was raped didn’t ask to be raped, just like that child didn’t
ask to be a product of a rape. Our American society does not permit directly
punishing the victim of a rape and a child that may be conceived during a rape
is also a victim, punish the rapist, not the victims.
