Well, I would consider shooting the rapist dead an uncalled for escalation of force. I would not use lethal force unless it was necessary. Killing the rapist would probably be considered manslaughterThis is completely disingenuous.
And to establish a moral equivalence between the rapist, the child victim, and the fetus is absolutely reprehensible.
Your reasoning above is precisely the reason so many people (including me, the lifelong conservative Republican) find the Single-Issue Monomaniacal Anti-Abortion Party to be completely invested in staggering and jaw-dropping lunacy.
To be clear, abortion is not my singular issue, or even my major issue (it is a minor issue for me). My major issue is foreign policy. And in fairness, since I will stationed OCONUS for the indefinite future, I only consider myself a half-American at the present time. Being in the military + OCONUS insulates me a lot from the bad changes in the U.S. If the American economy tanks, it will hardly affect me (it will, but not that much).
"Real" Americans stand a lot more to lose in this election than myself.
