"“Rape exceptions in the law actually put the government in the position of having to ascertain when the child was conceived, who the father is,"

This is ridiculous! The woman knows if she is pregnant, or not before she's raped, otherwise all that's in place is an embryo, or not far from it. The decision belongs to the woman alone. If she is raped everyone else, includng the law, has no business sticking their nose in this whatsoever.

Sadly some must go the way of the Whigs to learn that some subjects are outside the business of government control.

I fear more that the democrat party will milk this failure and control our lives even more than they do now.

Does the father get a vote, how about the baby?

Are you willing to stand with Chris Matthews in lumping those trying to defend "personhood" with those who spout "birthism"?
