This is not an issue I wade into often, but criminalizing abortion even in the event of incest and rape is disgustinghttps://apnews.com/fbae135281e64818946f72cfdb199dcb …

I see people claiming that there is in fact an exception for rape and incest. Either every single media report is wrong, or you're wrong. AP: "Senators rejected an attempt to add an exception for rape and incest. The amendment was voted down 21-11"

The bill is also not somehow "temporary" because it's clearly intended to force a Supreme Court case. The only way it can be challenged up to the Supreme Court is if the bill is enacted.

I agree with you, but also I don’t think that’s what’s happening. The article makes clear that this is temporary. Additionally, the bill includes language that protects the life of the mother if endangered. I think it’s far more nuanced than you suggest.

I don’t think this is necessarily a religious issue per say it’s about at what point a baby is considered an independent human with independent right of protection by the state as it is the states first duty to protect its citizens.

I’m pro-choice. I don’t understand how the pro-life point is in ANY way modified by rape or incest. If you believe a fetus is a living human being with rights, its origin is irrelevant. It’s like saying “I’m against murder...unless someone is taking a parking space you want.”

In theory, it'd be modified by the fact that consent to have heterosexual intercourse extends to gestating the child, if one eventuates, as it's its natural consequence. In theory… In practice, every rape kit includes Plan B pills preventing pregnancy before it starts.

why would how the life came to be be relevant on whether it deserves to live or not? Rape is terrible and it's a horrible thing for anyone to have to go through, but that doesn't make that child's life any less valuable

Pro-abortion fanatics have provoked an equally repellant reaction from anti-abortion fanatics. Welcome to 2019.

Indeed...That sensibility needle is just going to bang on the hard stops for 6 or more years...

Killing an innocent human fetus is immoral.

Why isn’t it immoral in every case?

Well, it's either a life or it isn't at some point in this process and it's probably not day one or exit day nine months later. But, picking is rather complicated. :)

A fetus become no more or less human if it was created as a result of rape. The purpose of the state is to protect those unable to defend themselves (the unborn baby) from anyone who would take its life.
