Perhaps her views on abortion is why she defines herself as 'mildly' pro-choice. Would you define someone who is against abortion except in cases of rape, incest and life of mother to be pro life, or mildly pro choice?

Well, a Republican candidate with the political savvy to get themselves elected would describe that is as either pro-life or pro-life with exceptions.

Depends on many factors...you oversimplify. But if they fight for the rest of the pro-life agenda, I would call them Pro-life, with a real strange cognitive dissonance. That describes President Bush.

Most serious pro-lifers make an exception for the life of the mother...although as C. Everett Coop, who delivered thousands of babies, says, it almost never happens. He never had it happen once. It is a red herring used to derail the pro-life debate.

But, intellectually, it is silly to support killing babies who are the product of rape or incest. They didn't do the wrong.

I support making rape or incest capital crimes once again. Kill the guilty, save the innocent...
