How is rape or incest "pure judgement calls"?
Let's give them better healthcare. Killing their babies is a total cop-out!
No. I'm not talking about a total ban because guess what? That will never happen. I'm talking about an incremental education of the realities of abortion which will lead to limiting it as far as humanly possible.
I don't believe in a total ban. Anyone who would prevent an abortion in TRUE cases of life of the mother is an ogre--why would someone condemn both a mother and child to die if one can be saved?
I see, but committing murder somehow doesn't cause trama, so sure, let her murder her baby.
Have you thought this out at all? Do you see how ridiculous your logic is?
Are you stating that seriously?
it's easy to be objective when YOU'RE NOT THE ONE CARRYING THE CHILD IN YOUR BODY.
I applaud his consistency on the issue. He's maintained this position long before being elected President.
Why are you for murder in the case of incest and rape for an innocent baby?
Yes, you can get DNA from an aborted baby...IF YOU ARE LOOKING. The fact is that the abortions are done quickly, before there is an investigation. If a baby is born, things have to be explained, you can't hide or dispose of it the way you can an aborted baby. Abortion clinics have a lot of protection, and no requirements to report suspicious activity. The secret won't be discovered.
If you honestly believe that a fetus in the first trimester is a fully formed person, we have nothing to discuss. Making a woman carry the result of a rape is obscene.
Excellent post.
Bush may have done nothing wrong - but what has he done correctly lately?
What has the CHILD done to deserve being dismembered?
You're right. Taking things slowly, and step by step, is the best way to deal with this. Meanwhile, while everyone is busy being "pragmatic" about it, countless innocent children are being slaughtered in the name of convenience. That's the real vanity.
A just society doesn't speak out against only some murders, it speaks out against all murders.
If the quickest (and perhaps ONLY) way to ban all other abortions (the 44 million you refer to) was to allow them for rape and incest (4 per year), what would you choose?
Yes - thanks for pointing out that this is the position the president has had since he ran for office.
So nice of the freepers on this thread who are pretending the president must be drinking or something.
Studies show that raped women who give their children up for adoption are the ones who cope with rape the best.
But this is all beside the point. Why does the woman's trama trump the child's right to life?
If a woman is raped and becomes pregneant from that rape, all options should be made available to her. This should be nobody else's business. Forcing a woman to bear the child of the man that violently attacked her seems pretty medieval.
