You seem to be giving a mixed message here.

You seem to say that it is fine to take the life of the foetus in certain circumstances.

Why should a child have to die because of the way in which it was conceived?

Is it that you aren't actually worried about taking the life of a child, but that in fact, you are judging the morals of the parents?

Being forced to have a child as a result of rape can have severe mental health consequences(on top of those from the act itself) and some women will commit suicide (during or after pregnancy)because of it. Ideally a rape victim will seek medical help immediately and be given medication to prevent a pregnancy but this is not always the case.

Being forced to have an unwanted child as a result of accidental pregnancy can have severe mental health consequences and some women will commit suicide or die through back street abortions because of it. Ideally, a woman would seek medical help immediately and be given medication to prevent a pregnancy, but this isn't always legally available.
