Q&A: Rape/incest don't justify abortion. Ezekiel teaches the child won't die for the father's sin. If a one-month-old baby were discovered to be a product of rape and incest, no one would say it's okay to kill it — so what's different about the same baby six months earlier?

God permitting evil doesn't mean he gives permission for it. Ezekiel: the son won't die for the sins of the father. Rape-based abortion kills the child for the father's crime. The thought experiment: if you discovered a one-month-old was the product of rape and incest, you wouldn't kill it — nothing morally relevant has changed from six months prior.
