Congressman West is pro-life, with the exception of rape, incest, and endangerment of the mother. in those cases, he believes it’s up to the mother, not the government.

i got this straight from his office.

sounds like a rational stance on the issue. it’s not pro-abortion and it leaves the choice with the mother.

but hey, thanks for trying to sling mud instead of discussing the issue i brought up.

that being CHARACTER

That’s not pro-life.

I don’t think that you understand all of what being pro-life includes.

So he’s pro-life, except when he’s pro-death. Hmm.

NOBODY has ever suggested that medical requirements to save a woman's life should be abolished (unless of course the requirement is a basic necessity like food and water, in which case the libertarians just want the woman murdered).

So, West believes that a child should be murdered because their father is a rapist or commits incest? For what other crimes does he believe the child should be executed for his or her father's deeds?

sounds like a rational stance on the issue.

Yep, abortionists are full of rationalizations.

it’s not pro-abortion and it leaves the choice with the mother.

So, he's "personally opposed" but thinks it should be the mother's "choice"?

How is it "rational" to kill one person for the crime of another?

How is it "rational" to break the oath of office to provide equal protection for all persons, as the Constitution explicitly and imperative requires?
