You raise a good point. These types of arguments open up Pro-Lifers to the charge that the reason we are 100% Pro-Life is because we don't think women can get pregnant from a “real” rape. We don't have to face the moral dilemma of our position. It completely undermines the cause. We have to say that we understand that rape is traumatic and horrible and can result in pregnancy, but that is no reason to kill the baby.

Yes. I have met many people in the pro-life community and worked with pro-life causes...nobody EVER have I met that would not agree with the trauma and horror of rape. We just don’t want to perpetrate a second one.

Wow...sure wish there was an edit button on here. FR needs to get with the times.
So, what I meant to say was that nobody I know in pro-life circles would DENY that rape is traumatic and horrible. We just don’t want to extend the trauma and horror by killing the innocent child.
