For those who want the fucked up "line" of thought on the whole pro-life except in cases of **** or incest thing, here it goes, at least for Western culture.

In older, traditional religious teaching, the only sanctioned sexual behavior was between a man and woman in marriage for purposes of reproduction. The only "approved" children were those who were born into this situation. If a child were born less than 9 months from the date of marriage, the family was looked down upon. If the woman was unmarried, she could be not only shunned but punished, with punishments ranging from that described in The Scarlet Letter to stoning (depends what century we are talking about), for this was obviously proof of "adultery", this being defined as any sexual behavior outside of that described above.

ANY CHILD born outside of the above description was considered a bastard. Bastards would not have any inheritance rights, no land, no training in a trade, and if female, no dowry or marriage prospects, and a child of either sex would not be allowed into Heaven. This was because it was believed that any life born outside of the above rules was already damned, isolated from God, almost untouchable, because it had been conceived and born outside of the rules, it had been born into adultery, and thus born into more sin than we already were under the concept of original sin. In that system of belief, that life was genuinely regarded as being worth less because it was "dirty", considered unclean, vile.


A child born as a result of **** or incest was conceived outside of the aforementioned rules ( not resulting from the union of a married man and woman), and was classified as a bastard. The only biblical exception to this was in a case where a woman was ****ed in a rural, wild area, where if she had screamed, no one in a position to help would be able to hear her, so she had a plausible reason why the **** had taken place, instead of being stopped. The child would still be a bastard, the woman would still be somewhat shunned and held as being worth less for marriage, possibly unmarriageable, but she wouldn’t be killed. If she was in a populated area, she was screwed, because of course if it was **** she would have screamed, and someone would have heard her. (No pun intended)


Strict biblical teaching does state that those children produced from **** or incest are worth less than those from a traditional household.


Horrid isn’t it?
