I have never understood why there should be an exception made for rape and incest. If abortion is murder, then wouldn't it still be murder under the proposed exceptions? But of course, the demands for these exceptions aren't grounded in reality - it's all politics. To make it look like pro-life people are compassionate. But it really makes such people look like fools.
In the same way, if abortion is murder, should abortion doctors and the women who get abortions go to trial for murder? Should the sentence for abortion be any different than the sentence for murdering someone who has been born?
Because there are some of us that want common sense in our politics. Most of us aren't out there to legislate morality. We are out there to get rid of abortion as a matter of irresponsiblity.
If someone wants to have an abortion I'd even go so far as allow them to terminate in the 1st 3 months. What they do as far as sinning is between them and God.
God never meant for us as individuals to judges. He does command us to obey the laws of the state.
Therefore those of us who are actually true conservatives understand that it's a States rights issue. We believe the people get the choice. If California wants abortions for everyone at anytime.. let them.. that's their choice. If South Carolinans want to not have any abortions in any case that's their choice. People can move to where they feel most comfortable.
As far as yourself.. you just make sure you aren't involved in a decision to have an abortion. Preach to others about the importance of not having an abortion. Stop trying to force everyone to be your kind of Christian. That's not what the bible teaches at all. It says to mind yourself and let God worry about the rest.
For starters, because forcing a woman (sometimes a young girl) to spend several months walking around obviously pregnant, when it's the result of rape or incest, is indescribably cruel. Is she supposed to explain the circumstances of the conception to everyone she knows at work/school and in her neighborhood? Or just let them assume that she can't keep her legs together or remember to use reliable contraceptives? Not to mention that it prevents her putting the horror behind her and starting to recover psychologically, and that delay can have a permanent impact.
