An excellent response, Caitlin. I hadn't heard that argument for abortion before, that letting the baby live is letting the rapist win. As far as I know, there's no scientific evidence anywhere that backs up the claim that the baby is “genetically damaged” and will walk in the father's footsteps. It's just another lie wrapped up in an emotional appeal, but when looked at logically, it falls apart.
