You have no right to put your gun against a woman's head (figuratively) and force her to carry a rapist's child.

As a wise old justice once said "Hard cases make bad law." It is a favorite tactic of the Left to use those hard cases to impose a completely radical solution to problems affecting a very small number of people.

The battle over whether we can or should force a woman to carry a rapist's child is very remote. Pro-lifers in general do not commit to that position. This is a philosophical and legal argument, not one that represents the goals of pro-life organizations and pro-lifers in general.

Pro-lifers are not cruel or thoughtless people.

They don't, but some people on this thread do. And I was criticizing them.

I know. No offense, but you looked to me like an extreme person, but now that I know you a little bit better, you're quite reasonable.
