In reply to the discussion: If a person is TRULY pro-life it shouldn't matter if a babies dad was a rapist [View all]cyberswede
(26,117 posts)because some people obviously feel the need to legislate a woman's right to choose - to make them conform to their own ideas of what is acceptable.
Again...the laws aren't for the "truly pro life people" - they are intended to control the options of everyone else.
In your original example, the exception for rape and incest isn't designed to give an out to the "truly pro-life" people who would never have an abortion under any circumstances, and removing it is just another way to limit the rights of the people who MIGHT choose to have an abortion under those circumstances.
I'd love it if there were no abortion debate. It's the "pro-life" people that keep trying to change the laws to make abortion more difficult or impossible - if they didn't keep doing that (to control OTHER people), the debate would become unnecessary.
