Totally agree. The so-called rape-incest exception garbage is a major red flag that principle had nothing to do with Trump’s pro-life positioning. If it’s OK to kill a human being for no reason other than who the father is, how is that not validating murder, the unjustified, unexcused, intentional taking of a human life?
I believe that political folks who take this position are triangulating to max out their support demographic. They can give a patina of being prolife to satisfy the mushy right, while also avoiding the full ire of the mushy left. End result, more votes for them, and more dead babies that should have not been murdered.

Well said, SR. A good steadying whiff of moral clarity.
As I said to another FReeper, who brought up the "what if she was gang raped by a pack of jihadi's?" scenario (used to be "by a Big Black Man with Gonorrhea" but hey, this is the 21st century)---
"It's the jihadis who don't have any ethical objection about killing the innocent. The rest of us do.
Think about that."
