now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
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.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
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.Originally Posted by ghost908
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.

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."
