I have a question for you regarding abortion.

Without naming names, but we know who I am talking about probably....

On abortion specifically, if one allots a category for abortion strictly for rape, incest, or otherwise abuse and extreme health situations how does that sit?

I mean if we can in effect legally reduce abortions by 97% but not outright have a zero tolerance no matter what...

What say you?

Me, while still not a perfect situation, its way much a step in the right direction.

I don't think I'm going to split fine hairs. Abortion is the violent taking of an innocent life.

Wrong premises lead to wrong answers and that's what the Liberals are counting on. How about swift and sure death penalty for any rape or incest? How does that sit? How about a call to manhood so that males who cut-and-run from the women they abandon are treated with all due societal contempt, not as a carefree selfish self-gratifying hedonist who is in fact a socialist welfarist ally in enlarging the nanny state?

As regards extreme health situations, this is a classic red herring, there are so few such cases that this is statistically almost a moot point--except for those desperate to create a Hegelian Dialectic out of something, anything.... In such cases as do occur, Doctors do their best in such cases to save both--and triage if that is not possible. I refer here to actual doctors who first do no harm--not to those who make a living killing.

Expanding my remarks:

Abortion is the premeditated American government approved sometimes taxpayer funded (they're involving you and me here) violent taking of a helpless innocent human life, ie, premeditated murder. There are two lives directly affected here. The mother's and the baby's. They both enjoy the unalienable right to life bestowed upon us all by our Creator. The taking of one or the other is not our decision to make. Pray that they both receive God's blessings and the very best medical care possible to keep them both alive and healthy.

What did the baby do to deserve death?

You know very well that abortions will not be reduced ninety percent when (a)  the health of the mother, and (b) rape, incest, abuse, extreme heath are allowed as valid excuses. These (a) & (b) are two giant loopholes to allow abortion. The same reasoning is used here as in medicinal marijuana.
