The South Dakota ban does not even include an exception for women who are raped. It deserves to be overturned, and Ronald Reagan, a strong supporter of rape exceptions, would agree with this effort.

[Mr. Lucky]

So, you pretty much believt that the child conceived by the act of rape should be punished more severely than the rapist?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because a baby was conceived via rape, it doesn't mean he's somehow less human and deserving of the death penalty.

Ask a child who was conceived via rape, put up for adoption, and subsequently raised by a loving family if he'd rather be dead. Not everyone was given life under ideal circumstances. That doesn't mean that death is a better option.

[mockingbyrd]

yes, because babies should always be punished for the crimes of their fathers.

if it's murder, it's murder and there never is a justification for it.

"and Ronald Reagan, a strong supporter of rape exceptions, would agree with this effort."

Reagan was wrong on this. Because the act of creation was heinous in this case doesn't make the innocent life any less precious. People calling for these exceptions are hypocrites. You're either for innocent life or you're not. You don't make exceptions for certain classes of innocents. When you yeild that ground, you give the opposition all of the initiative.
