Which proves that Sean Hannity is not really a Catholic. He's a Protestant who goes to Mass at a Catholic Church.

As horrible as it sounds, I might be willing to stipulate for abortions on the grounds of rape and incest. I think ALL abortions are wrong. I think abortions after rapes or incest unfairly punish the wrong person. However, they represent a tiny fraction of the total number of abortions performed in this country. I believe I have seen the figure <2%. And yet they are a top concern with the apathetic masses who keep abortion legal. If we could stop all other abortions, wouldn't this be preferrable to the situation we have now?

Of course, less abortion is preferable to more abortion. My point was that Sean Hannity does not understand that he is obligated to oppose abortion, even in cases of incest and rape. There are lots of people who consider themselves Catholics. There are few who understand that being a Catholic imposes obligations.

The leaders of the abortion industry don't really worry about rape and incest abortion access, they're just using that issue to keep the discussion away from the reality of what a surgical abortion is.

Also, remember what Norma "Jane Roe" McCorvey did to obtain an abortion? She claimed she was raped, when in fact the sex had been consensual. If we simply allowed rape and incest abortions, the number of "rape victims" walking into clinics will skyrocket. If we add some safeguards (the rape has to be reported and investigated, etc.) the feminists will scream about women having to go through the Spanish Inquisition to get an abortion, and we're right back at square one. No, the way to beat this is to put the focus where it belongs: on the children who are being murdered. Even in our sick age there are few people who believe a kid deserves to be ripped limb from limb because his father commited a criminal act. We also must defend the women caught in this situation, and remind folks that an abortion doesn't unrape her, or help her healing process, it just adds real guilt to the unjustified feelings of guilt many rape victims feel.
