No, a continuation of the original assault
meaning the assault against the fetus (due
to an abortion). In other words, the rapist
is morally responsible for both the assault
against the woman and the resulting assault
against the fetus if an abortion is chosen.

All I'm trying to say is that there is a
philisophical argument to be made, even
among "pro-lifers", to support the right
to choose an abortion as a result of rape.

The victim of the rape could, of course, choose
to be a "good Samaritan" and have the child.
But should the government force someone to
be a "good Samaritan" to save someone else's
life (especially if they have absolutely no
responsibility for causing the situation)?
