    You've just said what all the anti-abortion crowd think. You haven't 'enlightened' everyone about 'the truth'

    The truth is some women will want to sleep around and having the option of abortion should they unintentionally get pregnant is beneficial to them.

    However to completely outlaw abortion would indeed mean that rape victims would need to carry a baby fathered by their attacker to full term. This is not a fictitious scenario, women do get pregnant from rapists, including as you mentioned, incestuous rapes.

    I can't understand how someone would support a law which mandates that.

    A baby cannot be aborted. That is not possible by definition. And since abortion rights are quite clearly defined in the Bible, a Christian cannot be opposed to it without being opposed to God and Jesus, hence not a Christian. What was your question again?

    Well then at least we agree that killing a baby in the womb is murder.

    A foetus is not an infant. So it is not murder except to those of a particular religious persuasion. Fortunately, we dont have to subscribe to their beliefs.

    What if prolifers started protesting against wars and capital punishment? Will the tinhat media respect their right to express their beliefs?

    re: Al Abammy

    Being pro-choice does not mean one is an advocate FOR an abortion. I am pro-choice and I also believe that having an abortion except in rare circumstances is almost certainly MORALLY wrong. So is adultery. I don't though advocate for locking up adulterers.

    If we are going to make criminals of moms who have an abortion we should also lock moms up who smoke, drink alcohol or do anything that would harm the fetus since we would also certainly charge a mom who gave an infant cigarettes or alcohol with child endangerment. We don't (yet) do that since we apparently make a distinction between fetus and infant baby.

    Not every moral issue can be solved through the legal system. We can seek to address the abortion issue by appealing to the better angels of people and also giving expectant moms with unwanted pregnancies other options such as adoption etc.

    That's not the only problem with banning abortions. The demand for them will still exist, so there will be illegal abortions which will presumably be less safe.

    Many Republicans are opposed to birth control meaning they expect a utopian world where no one has sex until they are married.

    I agree that some women are unfit to have children. Killing their unborn in the womb is probably best for society.

    Less criminals!

    If a Christian athlete is Pro Life, they have a right to free speech!
