Strong point. Might not the aspect of such a tragedy though, lie in what were more "life affirming"? Where the rape might not have been preventable, this psychological aspect may be, which could well involve the potential to shorten the life of the mother.

Very tough call, either way. I'd pray that prayer could even keep a single such instance from happening.

Amen.

And we must never content ourselves with thinking these lives are expendable if we can save the other 97% of the aborted babies. There is a tighrope to walk, where we can save some, but must never, ever, do it at the sacrifice of principle.

A temporary truce is fine, but never one that upholds the "right" to abort, in any fashion whatsoever.
