Richie did not answer my question but tried turning the table by asking me my religious viewpoint. Sorry, Richie, that did not work. Will you answer my question or just decline - which is your right to do, of course.

It's not a hard question and I believe I made myself clear. By law the hypothetical 12 year old girl has the right to abort the baby forced on her by extreme violence of body and spirit. If such a decision was made, every true Christian would pray for that girl and the destroyed new life.
But your are at odds with your faith in Christ, if in your heart you support the termination of that innocent life. It's a terrible thing that happened to that hypothetical 12 year old girl, but for a Christian of faith, is it any more terrible that the death of the innocent life?
But as the vast majority of abortions (maybe 96% of them are performed for birth control reasons according to the World Health Organization) we have more than the "12 year old" to ponder when it comes to abortion.
