I would not punish an innocent child, period. I swear...

Easy enough to say while in good health. You might find that position tougher to maintain while laying in a hospital bed and facing a nasty diagnosis, such as uncontrollable eclamptic seizures and a fast track to multiorgan failure. That happened to an aunt of mine in the early '60s. She grieved the child she lost until her dying day - but she lived to raise her older child and, as a teacher, she touched the lives of countless other children. Am I supposed to condemn her?

These exceptions that are being cast at Perry like stones are actually artifacts of the pre- Roe v. Wade America. I see no harm in setting a goal of rolling back the abortion culture to that particular point... for starters. I would like to think that most pro-lifers would recognize that we will never entirely eradicate this horrid practice and that stopping a large percentage of abortions would be a huge victory.

Leave the arguable exceptions for another time, when we're fighting on more level ground.

Quick story. When I joined FR, I was pro-choice. Now, I am unequivocally pro-life. Why? Because EVERY conception is a miracle from God. Even those conceived in a crime. It is an innocent LIFE, regardless of how it was conceived.
