    if you know a woman who has gotten pregnant from a rape some would think differently about an abortion.

    So it's the baby's fault then? The baby should be executed to pay for the rapists crimes?

    As horrible as such pregnancies are, it is not the baby's fault. Show me a fetus who has raped its own mother and I'll show you an unborn child that deserves punishment. The logic just doesn't hold up.

    The only time I could ever conceive of abortion as being morally acceptable is if the mother has serioius physical problems that put her at very high risk of dying: I'll say it again, abortion only makes sense if the mother's life is in serious jeopardy. Then and only then.
