My point was that capital punishment is the taking of life, and is allowed to the States *With Due Process*.

If you want the preborn to be recognized as full-fledged citizens entitled to due process (instead of ‘potential life’, as arguments in Roe characterized it and most States recognize it) and abortion outlawed in general, you will have to bring a case. Failing that, the option is to try and have the Constitution changed.

I am against elective abortion, but see the need for allowances in rape and mother’s health. There are instances in many peoples’ lives where the only choices are among evils. The ‘life’ of the collective polity is no different.

(I am also against capital punishment and find it as horrible as abortion, but recognize that the States are handling that in their individual ways, too.)

Rape not so much, punish the life without due process. Also what is defined by rape. Is it regret from a one night stand, LOL? Anything violent would result in LEO action btw.

Mother's life, an honest medical procedure/decision that happens rarely in this day and age concerning pregnancies in general. There would be due process from a medical standpoint.
