My views fall where president Bush views this issue. I'm against abortion except in the instances of rape and incest and the health of the mother.

IMO no pro-abortion candidate, Hillary or any other who takes big bucks from NARAL and Emily's List can ever be elected to National office in the US.

She's got to reinvent herself and try to moderate herself just to get a few extra votes.

Everyone faces moral dilemmas in life. Sometimes doing the right thing has a cost, in this case it would be huge.
I would rather focus on laws and policies that would prevent the rape from occurring in the first place. If we quickly prosecuted and executed rapists, this crime would happen less.
Let's leave the devil's advocate position to the liberals. They always have some sob story as to why a good law might be unfair to someone.

I would like to see a anonymous poll of just pro-life people and see what it says.
Q: Which one more closely resembles your view on abortion
A: Abortion should NEVER be done in any instance.
B: Abortion should NEVER be done except for when the mothers life is threatened
C: Abortion should NEVER be done, except for when the mothers life is threatened and cases involving rape and incest.
To: unlearner
Oh don't get me wrong I think abortion is murder, but i have to say i would allow it in these extreme instances.
To: Echo Talon
It's murder if you deliberately chop the baby into little bits to kill it. If you take an action to save the mother, that may, perhaps even very likely will, result in the death of the baby, that's not murder, it's just the best way to handle a bad medical situation. There is no need to chop up a baby and suck the parts out of the mother. Sometimes, unfortunately, there is a need to take an action which will prevent a condition which would likely result in the death if mother and baby, but will likely result in the death of the baby anyway.

If your twelve or thirteen year old daughter was pregnant, and you could prevent that pregnancy by killing me, would you kill me?

what would your chouce be on post #47? A?
To: Echo Talon
Making a 12 year old carry and give birth to a child that was the result of a rape if she doesn't want to in my book is like double jeopardyI agree. Parents need to protect their children and it would be abusive to force a child of that age to carry a pregnancy to term.
In such a horrible situation, the best thing is to comfort the girl, help her through it, and pray for the baby.
That being said--people will argue about the hard hypothetical cases, like this one.
But I would daresay that most people are not comfortable with most abortions, which (I think) are done by mature women, for convenience.

To: BigSkyFreeper
I agree.Someone like Hillary voting against any abortion limitation (and BTW voting for banning weapons, actually sponsering the Bill)cannot win. The important issue is being on the record on voting but also those who takes big bucks from NARAL and Emily's List.
Rudy is a strange one. He is actually not on the record about any of this, and he doesn't take that kind of money. Rudy has changed greatly since 911. Who knows?

See what happens when I have insomnia? I clean the house a bit, decide to visit FR, then stumble on to a very peaceful, sleep-inducing thread. :)

Of course I only know of Rudy's stances from other FReepers. I'd have to hear it from Rudy himself before I make a definitive conclusion on Rudy.

i have insomnia really bad. :(
To: Echo Talon
My choice would be that abortion never be done. But people aren't clear what abortion is. For example, if there was an ectopic pregnancy, I think it's appropriate to unwrap the baby, even if that means the baby will die. But that is not abortion. Abortion is never in the mother's best interest, it's an inherently unhealthy procedure for the mother. If the mother's life is threatened, there are appropriate medical interventions. Sometimes they result in the death of the baby, as a side effect, not deliberately. There are healthy, and nonimmoral ways to deal with the situation.
