While you can argue against a rape exception, it is ultimately to the advantage of the abortion crowd.

The fact that less than 1% of abortions are rape related (Guttmacher Institute, 2004) means that holding out for that last exception continues to allow the 99%. The simple fact is that by the most liberal standard, 95% of abortions are simply a means of birth control.

A large majority of Americans are against abortion as a means of birth control. That is the argument that has to be made.

Allowing the left to control the false narrative continues the status quo. Anything that saves children, even incrementally, is preferable to the continued slaughter of millions.

On the contrary, the left uses the emotionally appealing “rape exception” to keep the other 99% legal. How would you ban abortion but still allow it in cases of rape? It could only come down to taking the woman’s word that she was raped, which means, as long as there is a rape exception, any abortion ban is simply “the honor system”, and business continues as usual.

Nope, nope, nope, nope.

You do realize that once conception happens a human life is being grown? Why should anyone no matter the reason have a right to extinguish that?

Sterilization as well, you’re denying life. Disgusting, and I can never understand why anyone can support the destruction of human life. The same people that cry over cutting trees down. Who would not eat meat even if their life depended on it.

These people would stop an innocent life from living. It is all bad. I can argue it even from their point of view, that any type of abortion is wrong. It is against the way the world works. The way life works, it is against everything we know, and value. If you say it is okay to kill any living fertilized embryo, or fetus, then it would be okay for others to say: You are worthless, a drain on society because we don’t want to “deal with you”, we are going to end your life. It’s the same thing. Denying the right to life.

Nobody has the right to take another human life away....in any stage. The mother is carrying the life, it isn’t her life to throw away. It is part of her, but it isn’t her.
