Going the Extreme Route With Abortion

If you hate abortion due to religious reasons and are a staunch Pro-Life Supporter, if the following situation were to occur, what would be your reaction?  Read below and then make your decision.

Your adult daughter who lives away from home and is on her own shocks you by telling you that she is getting an abortion.  You maintain a Conservative religious home where abortion is the unforgivable sin.  In order to prevent the abortion, would you feel it to be your religious duty to hold your daughter hostage in your home under lock and key (in other words, kidnapping) and force her to give birth to the baby at your home?

Sorry, I am an undercover atheist in a fundamentalist Christian household in real life so I lash out at religious people with sarcasm on the internet.

This whole abortion thing is more evidense of the stupidity we live in. See my debate "License to Reproduce". Christians don't talk to kids about sex so they are defenseless and unable to make logical decisions.

Mine never did either. Most of my helpful information came from the internet Atheists and now I'm safer!

All lives matter. White lives as well as black lives.. That being said, unborn lives matter just as much.

That baby is just a person at the end of the day, what makes it any more special than you or me? Let the thing die, lmao.

If done at an early age, like you're supposed to, it won't feel anything, it won't think anything, etc. etc.

Neither will an adult, that's stupid. You think killing is more or less okay because you feel nothing in death?

I wouldn't go to such extreme measure as to what you explained in the description if my daughter did do that. I mean it would be her choice to do that if she already moved out. Even if my future wife, and I tried to convince her to not do it and she still want to get an abortion then by all means that is her choice. She will just reap the consequences of her decision later on.

Well, I'm not religious nor am I a big supporter of pro-life. However I could imagine, that if I was that due to religious reasons, assuming the religion is christianity, I would have to obey the other ''sins'', like not causing harm to other people, which I would probably have to do if I would successfully hold my daughter hostage.

I'm not religious but I'm pretty sure any parent who thinks doing that to their adult child is OK is nuts. Please tell me they don't exist?
