If you agree that life begins at the moment of conception, it should not matter the HOW that child was conceived. It is a child, plain and simple. And if you truly believe that abortion is murder, than you are killing that child simply because of the nature of his or her conception. It is not the fault of the child that he or she was conceived, instead it is the “fault” of God. HE is the one who desired that child to exist! He does not desire for any of use to take a life from this world, no matter the circumstances… hence He gave us The Ten Commandments and included “Thou Shalt Not Kill” in them.
Although rape and incest is horrible, and the woman upon whom this was inflicted may be suffering from the incident, to add MURDER to her conscience is a great disservice to her soul.

If we believe that God is Omniscient and Omnipotent, we can then safely know that God can take life out of this world and He can put life into this world, and without Him, no life exists. I believe, then, that a conclusion can be made that EVERY child conceived, regardless of the nature in which is was conceived, was allowed by God.
