If Ronald Reagan didn't have the 'evidence' that we have, then surely, Bush has a twisted mind because he favors an exception in cases of rape, incest and for the life of the mother?
BTW, your 'evidence' seems to be that life begins at conception because (1) a seperate DNA is created and (2) the cell begins multiplying. However, DNA was discovered long before Ronald Reagan entered the politican arena. Why did he continue to favor exceptions for the life of the mother, and for cases of rape and incest?
You asked, as if placing an insurmountable obstacle, Why did he continue to favor exceptions for the life of the mother, and for cases of rape and incest? Perhaps for the same reason that I do also, the issue of self defense. But you apparently don't actually wish to clarify anything and have a reasonable adult discussion of the issues, so thank you for the exchanges, I have better things to do now.
BTW, to toss a carrot your way, from a pragmatic standpoint I would be very happy with a ban on abortion that included rape/incest exceptions. This would remove legal sanction from the overwhelming majority of abortions. I am afraid, though, in light of the Blackmun quote with which we kicked off this exchange, that abortion law is an all-or-none proposition, for reasons already explained in that post.
