"For my part, I object to abortion even in the cases of rape and incest. I am willing to make the legal exception for those cases purely in practical terms: " Really, isn't any woman having an abortion also making an exception on practical terms (albeit her own...)? "I'm against arbitrarily ending human life even in the cases of abortion and euthanasia. I am willing to make the legal exception for those cases purely in practical terms: "

So we should murder the unborn because the mother is stupid? Dude why? And you liberals call us Christians and Conservatives, Nazi? what can we do about unwanted liberals, gee, I know, I'll go get my U.S. Constitution and look up abortion, be right back.................Dang' Its not in there, any where. OH, I forgot, you have to be a liberal to read those parts that where written in invisible donkey-blood ink. I guess ill have to go back to my silly old bible and do what I can to care for the sick and the suffering and pray for the soon to be dead and thrown away.

With the multitude of preganancy prevention methods available, any woman who knowingly
becomes pregnant without desiring a pregnancy
is too stupid to be a mother.

I am concerned for the welfare of the unborn child. Will it lead a life of resentment and abuse delivered by a mother who resents and
harms the child she never wanted?

I do believe many of the child abuse cases
spring from unwanted children.

She would presumably have to file a police report, have a rape kit run on her at a hospital, and provide plausible evidence. So, a woman who is a couple weeks pregnant and missed her period would have a hard time qualifying post hoc.

So tough shit, and thank you James Joyner, eh?

You are too dismissive a very basic human right James. You, and the government, have no right to turn a citizen into a 'project' whose body you control.

If you believe abortions are immoral, then by all means, never have one; likewise divorce, eating pork, dancing or worshipping Satan. You can even proselytize till your little conservative hearts content trying to convince others to follow your moral code. What you may not do is prevent people forcibly or otherwise from exercise of their human rights.

James, does the rapist have to be convicted in a court of law before the victim gets your permission to exercise her rights?

If not then every time a women wants an abortion all she has to do is say she was raped?
