re: #213 Dark_Falcon

Hear, hear! I’m not militant either and I would be amenable to a compromise. That said preference would be to ban abortion with the following exceptions:

1. Rape
2. Incest
3. Life of Mother in danger or strong chance of permanent damage to health of mother.
4. Unborn child has a condition that will cause early childhood death.

I find that stance mildly hypocritical. Sorry.

Basically, you’re advocating murdering a child because its father committed a crime. (Rape.)

If a ten-year-old’s father went out and raped someone, should we just kill the ten-year-old, on general principles? No? Then why make the same argument (as you are doing) about a 10-week old embryo?

If you truly believe that an embryo is a human being, then it is not the embryo’s fault that its father is a criminal. You are condemning the child to death for the crime of another.
