I think alot of people are simply talking past each other here - I don't know too many people that would refuse to allow abortion when the life of the mother is at stake. That's considered to be the uncompromising pro-life position.
And most don't have a problem voting for someone who supports exceptions in the case of rape and incest, even if they would prefer to not see those exceptions made.
Well, that's for sure my position. But I can see a lot of people on this thread don't even believe in those exceptions.
But as to people talking past each other, definitely.
