Thanks very much.
But on your second point.... if you are going to take the stand that the fetus is a person with rights.... then it makes very little difference... Right to life is either inalienable, or not. That one has to be yes or no, I am afraid.
Point well-taken. I believe at the moment of conception there is a new life created, which carries with it all the rights of any other human. But is a woman who's been raped evil in the same sense as one who has a late-term abortion (or one who kills her infant child)? I submit her emotions have the better of her, sure. I'm not ready to go so far as evil.
