Are you Pro-life or Pro-choice?

one last thing I need to add. It seems odd to me that although most of the pro lifers here would agree that abortion would be ok only if the woman was raped, they still want abortion to be illegal.. Well if abortion was illegal, what happens to the rape victims (you know, the only ones that get the ok from you pro lifers?) Being illegal would obviously mean illegal no matter what, no questions asked..

And even if you DID make it a law to be illegal except for cases of rape, what's to stop some desperate women from making up stories about how they were raped (not saying it's right, but it's possible)? What is the governemt going to investigate each and every case and find out whether or not the female was really raped? The "illegal accept for cases of rape" argument just doesn't make much sense to me. At least the more hardcore pro-lifers that want it illegal no matter what seem to have a little more logic in this sense..

This is not a problem for me at least since I don't support abortion being legal in cases of rape or incest.  See my above posts for details.  I agree that it's inconsistent to allow it in those cases, but then again I understand why people are torn over this issue due to the incredibly difficult circumstances.
