One of the most compelling arguments against abortion is that there are living people today who were conceived by an act of rape. No doubt some are wives and sisters. I don't find that compelling, at all. Had those wives never been born, the husbands would have different wives, perhaps more suitable or less suitable, there's no way to know. They would never know that they might have had different wives. Had the sisters not been born, perhaps another sister or brother would have been born at a different time. Or not. In any case, no living person would have reason to grieve over someone with whom they never had a relationship. There is no harm to the living. What might have been could have better or it could have been worse. There's no way to know. There's no reason to suffer over it. The only possible victims are those never born. And, since you can't suffer unless you're alive, they never had occasion to suffer either. No, it's not a compelling argument. Karen
