As for Abortion, wheither someone its somone who had unprotected sex or rape, the real question is when does life begin? If it begins at birth, than abortion is not murder. If life begins at conception, then abortion is the taking of human life and (imho) would be wrong wheither or not the conception was rape. When does life begin?...I can't answer that one. But that is the question that needs to be answered.
