With the constant lesson of this dirty conception as a goad that son may grow up to properly approach a father in the right way instead of being impatient and greedy.
Rape in times of war is to be expected and encouraged, of course. In that instance the father is usually dead or dispossessed so it's hardly fair to leave an unattached maiden to make her own mind up.

So basically all you were saying in accordance to what I was saying, is that rape is bad? I wasn't stating comments about the pregnancy itself, but the the fact that I believe abortion is bad. I do agree with all you said!
That makes me happy. However, I never said anything about the raped killing their rapists, so I don't see why you think I need to read the Bible again.
