| What's the benchmark for "allowing" a woman to have an abortion in the case of rape or incest? Would she have to wait for the outcome of a trial which in the US would most likely happen 9 months or later after conception? In which case the woman would have already given birth. In any case it's someone other than the woman deciding what should be done to her body. The Government shouldn't have a say in it.
Can you imagine the uproar if the Government demanded vasectemies for dead beat fathers so they wouldn't have any more children running around?
I've never understood the distinction that some make in regards to abortion being ok depending on the method of conception. Consensual sex? Oh no..the woman has to be responsible and give birth. Rape or incest? Ok..she can have the abortion. Talk about making moral judgments.
If people say they care so much about the fetus or unborn child in all of this then what's the difference?
I agree with sunnykerr. Even if abortion is outlawed in the US women will still have them. The rich will go to countries where it is allowed and have it done there. Otherwise will come up with the money and have it done "under the table." Others will have it done and be butchered by those who take money from the desperate. People are naive if they think it will just stop. __________________ "Finally, A guy who says what people who aren't thinking are thinking" - Jon Stewart on CNN & ABC host Glenn Beck
