Consider for a moment what is at the heart of your poster's plea for abortion right for the raped woman. The unstated plea is 'self defense'. The first right named in the DI is LIFE, then liberty, then, pursuit of happiness. A raped woman has the right to end an increased risk to her mortality begun with a pregnancy resulting from rape, from a criminal act against her. Where we are still struggling to evolve in our culture is the perspective of killing the innocent alive unborn as a means, the only means, to remedy this self defense issue. Why do we not apply the same right to LIFE to the alive unborn, where we may end the pregnancy but sustain the LIFE of the innocent other? How twisted must be the minds of folks who are convinced the raped woman has a right to a dead baby as a remedy for the crime committed against her. Yet Senators Boxer, clinton, Lautenberg, Harkin, and others truly hold that position.

Ah, yes, Ronald Reagan, George Bush and others have twisted minds. Nice going.
