    It will be interesting to see how the court reacts to this. I hope they overturn Roe. They don't have to support this bill, they just have to recognize the non-existence of a right to abortion in the consitution.

    If that is the case, what difference would it make if that fetus was a result of rape? It would still be a human life. How does it all of a sudden become okay to kill it?

    I have a lot more respect for the pro-life folks who are in favor of no abortions at any time unless there is a definite health risk to the mother. I disagree with them, but I respect their position and see the logic in it.

    But those who say "no abortions ever except for rape" just make me sick.
    I'm Glad I make you sick then. Please proceed and vomit.
    Sorry. I admit to playing the man instead of the ball for a minute there. I will retract the part about you making me sick. However, I stand by my comment that allowing a woman to kill her baby just because she was raped is hypocritical.

    If a fetus is a life, then it's a life. No matter how it was conceived, killing it is murder.

    Outlawing abortion has an unpleasant habit of driving women who for one reason or another want one to find "alternative" solutions - Big_John illustrates this quite succintly. At least in the past this went as far as outright infanticide.

    And then there's the little issue that the women can go elsewhere to get it done; this happens a lot in Ireland, I understand.

    Sort of defeats most of the points.

    Do the damn math. Principles are fine. Stupid ones that cause people pointless grief aren't.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
