I think the whole thing is just a “gotcha” trap.

1) Roe vs. Wade isn't going to be overturned anytime soon.

2) Pregnancies from rape and incest probably account for
what? maybe 0.01% of all abortions?

Even looking at it from a Christian standpoint, while I think abortion is wrong, evil, etc. - there are other things going on that are wrong and evil that we DO have the hope of changing in the near future - IF conservatives can get elected.

Heh. My SWAG at the 0.01% might be about right. Justice survey awhile back said about 200,000 rapes in a year. Another study shows chance of pregnancy at 3 to 5 %. Call it 5%, so 10,000 rape pregnancies (I imagine “rape” includes incest?). Say 1 million abortions - and it is 0.01% (Of course I just checked that 1 million, and it is more like 1.4 million. :( Per year.

Huge important points you make, 2112. I concur. Wait... concur? One thing, though, tell Romney to stop using word like concur and commensurate with, and instead use words like agree or in line with, because his sometimes overuse of SAT words makes him appear stilted, and exacerbates (another word he shouldn't use) his "lily rich guy" image.
