Alright, did this guy seriously also denounce his statement, that a woman’s body prevents pregnancy in cases of rape? If not, the Missouri race is in a deep trash bin. Alright, I am not even a woman, but I wonder what a woman would think if he thinks that a pregnant woman who asked for an abortion and reported rape, somehow lied because rape shouldn’t impregnate, rape can do everything from cause pregnancy to spread STDs, and that’s a serious issue. A little word of advice for a political candidate: stick to saying that instances of rape justify an exception to the abortion rule, rather than make up something that is totally refuted by science.

Uh... actually, conception IS rare, period, rape or not (if you understand how a woman's body works). And, because a baby is conceived in rape does NOT "justify" killing him. Maybe you have not seen the testimonies of babies (now adults) who were products of rape, and how grateful they are that their mothers did not kill them in the womb.

Would you prefer that a law be passed to prohibit abortion in case pregnancy resulting from rape?

And if such law were to pass what would the punishment be limited to the abortionist only and not the mother?

And you said it according to your own words, pregnancy caused by rape is rare. Well, wouldn’t that make a drastic reduction in the number of abortions if cases of rape, and even then, suggestions of alternatives to abortion were applied in cases of rape (adoption, possibly)?
