That's not the question. The question is, do we want to punish a woman who has been raped, remember her of that horrific act every day, and force her to bear the child of her rapist. Now I don't know about you, but I find that to be disgusting.

This is just an outdated argument of the Left. Virtually everywhere in America, any woman (including victims of rape) can get morning-after drugs to stop a pregnancy. In fact, they work very similarly to being on the Pill.

Don't sit there ignorantly bleating the pro-infanticide position and pretending that this is the Fifties or the Sixties. Back then, abortion was considered necessary by some because of the unreliability of condoms and diaphrams and spermicidal jellies. Today, it is very very different. And we also know that the signs of human life appear much much earlier than anyone knew at that time.

Roe simply would not be so radical if it were to be decided today. It is an inhuman ruling, based on flawed information about fetal development and assumptions about the reliability of existing birth control methods.

All the better. In any case, if the morning-after-pill is administered too late, or the hospital does not provide the services, then abortion should be allowed.

I already responded to this, and this may sound like a reversal of my previous argument, but I'm a pragmatist, and if the health authorities do a routine D&C as a standard part of rape treatment, both to prevent disease and preventing a fertilized egg from attaching, I don't have a big problem with it.
