Incest and rape-life of the mother are reasonable exceptions.
Definitely reasonable. It's only on this board that I hear people think they aren't reasonable exceptions. In real life, I've never met a person who thought the way these barbarians are thinking. Even in the Baptist churches down here, these are exceptions which are acceptable.
personally, I agree 100% with the president on this one.
Although I can easily see the dubious "life of mother arguments" that will no doubt arise. I'd also expect to see an increase of "but I was raped in my sleep" claims.
Fine, let's investigate...
I'm willing to grant that possibility in order to eliminate the "I just don't feel like having a child today" abortions.
For me it has a lot to do with personal responsibility. If you were willing to have sex, then you are dang sure responsible for your actions.
That said, there is no way I would ever force an unwilling incest victim or rape victim to carry a child forced on them. That IS Taliban mentality.
though I'll surely be called un-Christian by our "Holier Than Jesus" crowd.
