ORIGINAL: calamitysandra While I do think that she is a basketcase, and hope that she will not be elected (not that her opponent looks much better from where I am standing), I will give her, that she is at least consequent in her pro live stance. I never understood the distinctions pro live advocates make in rape cases. Is a fetus resulting from rape less alive, less worthy of their protection?. If you truly believe that life begins at conception/very early during a pregnancy, how come it would be acceptable to have an abortion in case of rape? According to their believe system, it is innocent life being killed. Being a product of rape does not make the fetus less alive or less innocent. So you are saying that not only must a rape victim endure the rape itself but she is then obligated to bear the rapist's child? Would you kindly point out where I stated that? [8|] I was talking (writing) about what I perceive to be a rather large, hypocritical hole in what most pro life activists tout, when they want to make an exception for rape victims and allow them abortions. If they believe that life begins at conception, than the fetus conceived due to rape is no less worthy of protection than any other. All I said was, that she at least is consequent in her views. Nowhere did I state that I would agree with what she wants. For the record, while I am against abortion, I also live in the real world, and that leaves me no other option than to be pro choice. Edit 'cause I will never learn to keep than/then straight.
