Agreed.

Especially since very few liberals want to advocate capital punishment for anything, and since Louisiana's law allowing the death penalty for extreme cases of rape was recently overturned by the Supreme Court, we can easily make the case that if we don't have the death penalty for the rapist there's no reason to have a death penalty for the baby.

In reality, rape and incest are a minuscule percentage of abortions and get entirely too much attention as “hard cases.” But that's not an argument pro-life men can make effectively; it needs to be made by pro-life women, and ideally by women who have been rape victims, of which there are some willing to speak out.

The messenger counts as well as the message, and that means some subjects simply don't sound good coming from a man.

You’re right. Rape/incest are the libtard’s gotcha divide and conquer questions and that crap has to stop and I think “infanticide” is the best way to shove it right back at them and nullify their argument.

Their abortion position is “anything goes.” That’s why they’re against ultra sounds because there’s actually an innocent, little human inside the woman’s body.
