  • It's morally acceptable to me.
  • That is a purely personal question that each woman would have to make for herself. Morally wrong or right is not something that could or would ever be national standard, in my opinion.
  • i dont think theres anything moral or immoral to talk about.it all depends on her presence of mind.surely she should take the pill.to avoid any further complications.theres no reason she should feel immoral in avoiding pregnancy.its her body,its her right
  • Yes of course and I would in a heartbeat...If you are a rape victim please get checked out and seek advice...I've been there and it's no fun:)
  • it would not be morally acceptable for me.
  • I dont think it is any different than abortion, and with that you will have some that agree and some that dont. I personally do not like abortion, but have no problem, if another makes that decision.
  • IMO, a woman has an ABSOLUTE right to abort by any method in the case of rape. This should occur as soon as possible, so I think the "morning-after" pill is an excellent choice. Many will disagree, but I also feel she has a moral responsibility to abort when sex is truly involuntary. Should individuals disagree, I would be happy to debate further. The above said, I also feel that is the ONLY time a woman has that right. However, I would not support a law that prevented a woman's right to abort - as long as it is not at public expense. I don't believe that people who find non-rape abortions abhorrent and immoral should have to pay for same.
  • Only the person who this happened to can answer that question. No one else should be answering this question for another person. What I believe is of no concern if it is morally acceptable it is not my place to judge.
  • The morning after pill is used within 72 hours of unprotected sex to either DELAY ovulation or inhibit it completely. Therefore, the egg does not get fertilized if it's NOT coming down the tube. If by chance the egg IS fertilized (an embryo) then this pill prevents the implantation of the egg to the uterus wall. The Catholic church believes this now becomes an abortion issue. But the BIG QUESTION is, is the woman taking the pill ovulating or NOT? Is she taking the pill "just to make sure" she doesn't BECOME pregnant. In the case of RAPE, I believe every woman should have the option of taking this pill IF SHE WANTS IT. Of course, I'm not Catholic so I wouldn't have any hesitation taking it if I were the victim of rape. My God is big enough to forgive me.
  • The creation of life should be a positive choice by both parents, so rape clearly does not meet this criterion. Nobody should have their body violated and then be forced to live with the unignorable memory of that for the next nine months, or even longer if they do not give the baby up for adoption. So, of course a rape victim should be allowed to abort the foetus by any means necessary. To me, morals or religion have little to do with this, and I'm amazed that anybody would suggest that a rape victim should not have an abortion. Perhaps if they were raped themselves and put in this situation, they'd think differently.
  • Its not my place to judge other people or make their choices. I am a male and in my viewpoint, if she forced into sexual activity then she should not have to be forced to get pregnant and carry a baby. I had a friend that got raped and acutally kept the baby and is raising her. She loves her baby and says she dont connect it to the rape in her mind. But that was her choice cause she dont believe in abortion and therefore I respect it. I dont mess with others views or try and change them if they are not hurting anyone.
  • yes, no question. i am probably as far right on the question of prolife as you can be even for rape etc. but it is morally , ethically, and religiously acceptable to try and prevent conception in the case of rape.\after that point, im against it. but understand other pounts of view.
  • it depends on your own personal standards. frankly, i don't think there's anything wrong with the "morning after" pill. morning after pill is not an abortion pill. they are completely different. it's more like birth control emergency pill. rape causes enough emotional damage. let alone to be held responsible to bring to term or even raise a child who constantly reminds you of the horrific event. um, no. if i was raped, i would definitely take the morning after pill. no doubt in my mind.
  • I believe so. The only time I believe abortion is acceptable is if the female is a victim of rape, or if pregnancy will cause her any physical or emotional damage that cannot be repaired.
  • i dont think taking the morning after pill is bad. its not abortiion where the baby starts to grow.
  • Absolutely!! At the end of the day, you have to look out for yourself, I'd be getting that pill straight away and taking it! You don't want to end up pregnant do you?
  • lets see here: it is easier to defend the morning after pill than abortion. most prolifers consider early abortion acceptable when resulting from rape. sounds fairly clean to me.
  • It's far far far far far more moral than eating a piece of meat that just yesterday belonged to a healthy suckling pig or calf. For crying out loud, it is a fertilised egg without the six sensory faculties and does not know pain or pleasure or any kind of self awareness as it is in the case of a suckling pig. Do you really think it cares what you do to it? Do you seriously think that egg has the awareness of self preservation and hence fear death like that with a baby animal being forced to die? People really can't think outside the square but are trapped by clinging to false views. What is insignificant is viewed as significant. What is significant is totally oblivious of. This is a crazy world. So DR me before someone pull all their hairs out...
  • This is, pretty much, the dumbest question I've seen thus far. Of course a woman has the right to take a pill that stops a horrible situation; violent, abusive, horrendous, against her will, violent, from ending with a child. It would be a reminder of the horrible experiences.
