Do you think a pregnancy that was the result of rape or incest, or one where the mother's life is in danger should have the _option_ to be terminated?

Strawman argument don't you think, there's always exception but youre talking about such a small numbers it's not even worth discussing. Yes rape or if the mothers health is at risk it should be allowed but lets not pretend that's why the majority of abortions are used.

 

Not a strawman argument at all. Pregnancies as the result of rape and incest happen.  If you're going to take the moral high ground that abortion is murder, then it's _always_ murder. You don't get to pick and choose which specific "exceptions" make it not murder, or dismiss the entire topic as "not worth discussing".  I'm sorry that your rigid moral stance on abortion gets uncomfortable when put in the context of a 12 year old who is gang raped and gets pregnant and is forced, by law, to see that pregnancy to term. I'm sure all the self-righteous pro-lifers will line up to adopt all the rape babies so it's no big deal, right?
