Rape or Incest ?

RAPE -- INCEST

Horrific subject, eh? As bad or worse than 'abortion'? Did we think this subject was SIMPLE?

Rolls trippingly off the tongue, but involves high priced lawyers, and some doctors as well. Gets us to thinking of forcible and statutory, of consensual and enticing, because all rape or incest is not the same, and the topic means different things to people, based on their personal knowledge and experience.

The baby is not at fault in any way, in the he said/she said dispute, but the baby will suffer by being unwanted, if indeed the baby is allowed to live.

The parents will suffer by having their lives disrupted by the unwanted baby. Oops! Maybe shouldn't have done that!

Allowing abortion in case of rape/incest provides a loop-hole for anyone who has decided against having the baby; not even to offer for adoption.

The lawyers and doctors may have a hay-day! The Rapist may actually serve jail time, or be let off the hook to do it again!

King David had a son who raped his own sister, 2Sam13, so this crime has been around for a long time, and always with contention. Amnon had raped Tamar in despicable manner, followed by his own execution at the hands of his brother Absalom, in a manner suggestive of Italian Mafia Style. In years past it led to 'shotgun weddings' when the father of the girl collared the boyfriend after it was discovered she was pregnant.

Even before that, in Gen34, it happened to the sister of the twelve sons of Jacob, and possibly could have been settled amicably (when the boy wanted to marry her), except that two of her brothers were outraged and so bent on avenging their sister that they murdered an entire town!

Now that the Bible has been excluded from our schools and government, this present generation has faith only for Society and their own ability to see them through difficult times. We have all sorts of 'Religious Institutions', and a few who still follow the Scripture, but unless the coming generation is somehow given the Truth of God's Word, it will all be going up in smoke, very shortly. 2Pet3:10.
