Conceived Through Rape

I had a friend whose cousin was the victim of a date rape. Her cousin became pregnant and delivered a baby girl. My friend said the baby grew up to be a beautiful, happy and intelligent kid. Everyone, including the mother, loved that child. This brought to my mind some questions. How do you think this little girl feels each time someone says that it's OK to abort a baby, if the baby was conceived through rape? If you meet this child, would you tell her, straight to her face, that it would have been OK to terminate her life just because she was conceived through rape? I can only imagine the thoughts and questions going through her mind: "Why should I be terminated? What did I do wrong? Did I commit a crime worthy of death? Was this my fault?" Maybe we should remember these questions next time this issue comes up.

Do Babies in the Womb Have Senses?

I was watching "Good Morning America" earlier and Diane Sawyer was discussing the sense of smell with a doctor. She stated that babies in the womb are neurologically developed enough to detect chemicals, like the smell of garlic. So even in the womb, a baby can detect odors. I was just wondering, "Does a baby also have the sense of touch?" In other words, "Can they feel?" If so, can they feel pain? Then I have one question, "Can a baby in the womb feel pain while it's being aborted?" What do you think?
