How do we teach about medical emergencies where both lives are in danger—such as the horrific reality of a 10-year-old rape victim whose body cannot survive carrying a pregnancy to term?

• Punish the Rapist, Not the Child: The person who committed this horrific abuse should face swift, severe justice, the Bible would call for the death penalty. However, it is fundamentally unjust and evil to punish an innocent child to death for the crimes of their father.

When teaching about medical emergencies where both the mother and the child's lives are in danger, the core principle is that medical professionals must recognize that they have two equal patients and must honor their oath to "do no harm".

• The Toddler Analogy: If we recognize that it is wrong to kill a born toddler because a family is facing a tragic or impoverished circumstance, we cannot use those exact same circumstances to justify murdering a human being who is still in the womb.
• The Ethical Standard: Arguing that a child should be killed so the mother doesn't suffer in poverty is a deeply flawed ethic. Murder is never an appropriate or compassionate answer to poverty or societal suffering. Scripture is clear on how God views the taking of innocent life; Proverbs 6:17 explicitly lists "hands that shed innocent blood" as an abomination to the Lord.
• Protect the Innocent: However, it is fundamentally unjust and evil to punish an innocent child to death for the crimes of their father. The child is entirely innocent of personal guilt, a concept supported by Romans 9:11, which speaks of children in the womb who "had not done anything good or bad".

Remember what I said about my Dad, he went though this. The doctors and Him never once thought, we must kill the child. They told him they would have to remove the child and hope it lives. She did, and she set a record at the Great Fall Hospital in MT for being the small child delivered
