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.

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"?

Well said!
