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.
No, you're just being illogical. Either an unborn baby is a human being with a right to life or not. If yes, then there is no justification for allowing abortion in cases of rape. If no, then there is no basis for banning any abortion.
