I know this is a touchy issue. As a man, I cannot possibly fully understand how a woman is affected by rape. This is something only a woman can understand.
I am puzzled though, and hope I could get some explanation on this. The idea came up in discussions about abortion, but I think it applies eslewhere as well.
First, considering the stance of opposition to abortion, I have quite often heard that rape is an exception. So, if abortion is considered murder, does rape justify the murder of someone who was not at all involved in the rape?
Secondly, considering capital punishment, should rapists get the needle?
Thirdly, considering self defence, should a woman have the right to kill the attacker even if her life is not in danger?
