“unless they were conceived in rape or incest, or if the life of the mother was at risk” I hate this conjunction of the “rape or incest” exception with the “life of the mother” exception. Almost always if the life of the mother is at risk the baby will not survive. The easiest example to think of is an ectopic pregnancy where to fetus is trapped in the tube. If left there the mother will certainly die. The child has no chance of survival. So that tube has to usually be cut out. Someone dear to me was in that situation and the stupid doctor wanted to start in on the whole abortion issue. I gave him a look that would curdle milk and said, baby is probably already dead and cutting out the tube will save her and you want to talk abortion?

Common sense isn’t it, I absolutely will let you know that some people get so over the top scorched earth on the matter that they can’t be reasoned with.
