Deuteronomy 22:25 kjv
25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
Rape is a crime punishable by death under God's Law. Which raises issues with the pro-choice argument that rape justifies abortion.
The bible does not teach 'marry your rapist'.
Bible law is superior to modern law because rapists are to be executed, not imprisoned, fined, or caned.
Under biblical law, the rape victim isn't under threat from the rapist because the rapist would be dead. Further, in Deuteronony 22:26 it states:
26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death.
Therefore, abortion would be unnecessary since the woman is protected by the biblical law.
Additionally, the abortion/rape issue is a matter of legislation. A fight on legislative drafting that would not be affected by the abortion of a child uninvolved in the process of the crime.
In fact, based on other pro-life posts on tumblr, a child may be the best evidence tying a rapist to the victim.
Ultimately, abortion as a protective measure against the rapist for the woman becomes unecessary because:
Under biblical law, the woman is guilty of no crime and the rapist is executed for his crime and:
Under modern law, abortion has nothing to do with the fight for harsher punishments against rapists.
You often quote the Bible, why is it that you think that one particular religious book is correct
I don't so much think the bible is correct as I have faith that the bible is correct.
Life is vanity. All is vanity.
The only thing that matters is what you believe in and live for.
The Bible says that ALL I have to do is believe that Jesus Christ, because he died and rose again, has defeated death and is the only way to salvation as a result.
That makes sense to me and it is easy. So I believe that the Bible is correct.
But isn't it more important to be a good person than it is to follow a particular religion. My religion says that if I help those around me and if I am a good person to people without a care of their race, gender, sexuality etc. and if I wish to follow certain teaching from my religion that make me a better person without devoutly worshipping the gods of my religion and devoting myself to certain deities, then I am a better person in the eyes of god than someone who follows the religion devoutly, prays everyday and loves certain deities deeply. My religion says I don't have to love God and I don't have to believe in him to be a good person, and God would still love me. Not everyone who is devoted to God is a good person.
The Bible states that there is no one good, or righteous. No one.
Besides, a person's 'goodness' is entirely dependent on what moral values he puts his faith in. Everyone has a religion, even if they don't call it that, and their sense of righteousness is dependent on that religion.
In which case, wouldn't following the right religion be more important than being good?
