    Abortion is an issue for me with a lot of moral ambiguity, and that's partly why I rarely comment on it. But the state forcing a woman who has been raped to carry a pregnancy, to me, is not ambiguous. It's an unbelievable encroachment on her personal autonomy and a moral outrage

        Policy should not be driven by the rare cases. Decide a reasonable parameter overall and then carve out the rare instances.

        Wrong, no such exemption was included in the billhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1128527451737546752 …

        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"

        They knew this. That’s why many held their noses and voted for Trump anyway.

        I share your frustration. At best, all we could do is a "legal fiction" that leaves no side satisfied. The reality is, it's a wedge issue to inflame voters. And each side retreats to their extreme.

        I am unwilling to let an extremely - nearly statistically insignificant - small number of the overall number of abortions be the defining factor. It cannot work that way. Virtually nothing works that way.

        Agree. Sadly, this is what happens and what we get w/extremes on both the left and the right. Far left thinks it’s alright to kill healthy live baby after it’s born and far right wants no abortion at all under no circumstances. Crazy shit these days, man. We all lose. #abortion

        In my experience, when offered the "rape and incest" compromise to a pro-choice advocate, it wasn't good enough and exposed that they are exploiting that very small percentage of women for their own benefit.

        Just curious what this says to children conceived in rape. Are they defective or bad some how?

        I can't see the moral ambiguity. Its an issue for woman: Its their autonomy, their bodies, their health. Forcing a woman or girl to carry a pregnancy against her will, certainly before the fetus is viable outside the womb, is unconscionable.

        💯 agree. It’s immoral to grossly infringe on another’s Free Will, such as in this case of banning abortion even in extreme circumstances. The ends do not justify the means.

        As a “baby of a rapist” conceived before Roe v Wade, I don’t feel this “hatred” against women you speak of. Careful of the words and tone you use bc regardless of how I (and many like me) were conceived... we’re not less worthy of respect. https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1128013069790076929 …
