Just what is Rice's position regarding abortion? I have heard that she is a committed Christian, but I have also heard that she believes abortion is justified and morally acceptable in many cases other than saving the life of the mother. In my book those two positions are not compatible.

AFAIC abortion is never justified under any circumstances other than in those rare instances when the mother's life would definitely be seriously endangered by continuing the pregnancy. Rape and incest are often given as valid reasons for aborting a baby, but I believe aborting the living human product of incestuous intercourse or criminal rape is nothing less than murdering one of the two victims of those crimes. If the mother/victim in those cases doesn't want to raise the baby because of mental and emotional trauma caused by the crime, there are many thousands of potential adoptive parents eagerly waiting for her to sign the baby over to their loving care.

Who knows, perhaps with advances in natal management technology it will be possible for a corps of pure souls like yourself to be established who will be willing to have beings conceived under such circumstances (rape or incest) transplanted into your uterus, where you can bear them to term and either keep and raise them, or relinquish them for adoption. You could even make a career of it and become a "repeat host". And, if there are not enough volunteers, perhaps a draft from the group of pure souls could be instituted to make sure that every conceived being has a uterus in which to gestate. (Matt 7:2)
