Because they're fanatics.
I'd love to see how tough they'd talk if it was their wife that got raped and was forced to carry some crack-head's baby to term.
What I'd love is if people would quit with the, "Wait'll it happens to you" argument. That's no kind of argument.
Especially since there are people on this thread who DO HAVE ACTUAL PERSONAL EXPERIENCE in this area, and the majority (perhaps all of them) are coming down on the side of not killing babies.
I don't hate Bush on this issue, as usual, he has been consistent. I really think he should have just said, "While I personally disagree with the law, I believe this a matter left to the states."
some here are blowing smoke and would run right to the clinic, others are true to their word and beliefs and would indeed keep the child.
That's why in the case of rape, incest, or (real, not imagined) threats to the mothers life, I think a rational exception to the no abortion doctrine should be allowed.
But it is a dreadful dilema....and one I wouldn't wish it on any family.
In my perfect world, all pregnancies would be non-life threatning, and rapist and perverts would be shot on sight...
But I am a hopeless romantic..
