The exception for cases of rape has always illustrated a major gap in the logic behind the pro-life movement. A fetus is still a fetus, whether its conceived by rape or by consenting sex. The only difference between the two is the consequences under which theyre conceived; one is done with the will of the mother, the other isnt.
For many years, the idea that women would be forced to have the child of their rapist was so abhorrent that nearly all legislation regarding limits to abortion included language accounting for this exception. However, recent years have seen a change. As pro-life groups continue to bully Republican lawmakers into doing their bidding, theres been a slow shift towards forcing women to have babies conceived in rape. Its heartless, its anti-utilitarian, and its evil, but to pro-lifers at least its internally consistent. And it highlights how the pro-life movement was always those things.
Here to illustrate that transition from Im evil but you cant prove it to Snidely Whiplash is Marco Rubio, who told Stephanoupoulos on Sunday he preferred if rape victims kept their rapists babies.
"Moderate".
That reinvention should be studied, if it indeed happens.
