37. IMHO- the "exceptions" in cases of rape & incest are total hypocricy.
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 09:50 PM by LiberallyInclined
People who are against abortion generally hold that positon because they believe the fetus to be a human life, making abortion murder.

if a "child" in their opinion(fetus in mine) is concieved as a result of rape or incest, how is that "child" somehow less of a human being?

IMHO you have to be on one side of the issue of the issue or the other- either the fetus is a human life or it isn't...the "moderate" position that abortion should only be allowed in cases of rape, incest, etc. have no moral validity- I am completely pro-choice, but I have A LOT more respect for those people who's beliefs require them to oppose ALL abortions than for those who want to put qualifications on what constitutes a human life and then fake piety.
