The tone of the post considering it was made as a response to a pro-choice comment seems pretty clear: that the few raped women who conceive should consider a pro-life poem instead of an abortion.

But apparently that's not what he meant, so there you go.

EDIT:-

The small amount of pregnant rapes nontheless addresses a huge ethical dilemma, which is should a woman be forced to feed and birth the child of an evil man, conceived through an act of premeditated evil.

Anyone with half a brain cell would say, no - therefore abortion should be legal and accepted. Or should it only be allowed in clear cases of rape?

But the real question surely is, why do threads become labelled as 'sucky' when people ask questions and try to discuss serious issues?
A: That's not what I meant, as I described, and a poem is not a viable alternative to an abortion.

B: The few people who ask questions and actually discuss a serious issue quickly get outnumbered and overshadowed by narrow-minded people who do nothing but perpetuate stereotypes. I stated my opinion, and read other people's views... again. We've had this discussion before, more than once, and frankly this thread hasn't brought anything new to the table except for the poem that started this off.
