Horrific horrific examples of the cruel ness of humanity, but for purpose of debate, that would remove what, probably 99% of abortions?
Would you accept this?
I believe if Jesus had the scalpel, hammer and vacuum cleaner in his hands he would not perform the abortion in these 2 examples
What say you?
Definitely not an expert, but I would imagine the number of abortions related to incest is probably miniscule, but I could easily be proven wrong.
Not sure how many are due to rape, but doubt it is 99%. As I understand, most are out of convenience and elective.
I try to be consistent, and I think as difficult it is to acknowledge the rape and incest exceptions are not intellectually honest.
If one believes life begins at conception and thus opposes abortion, then a life is a life independent of how it is conceived.
Otherwise, the rape and incest exception is just a more limited - and arguably more justifiable - abortion for convenience.
(I fully appreciate the situation and the pain, etc. Not being heartless but making an intellectual argument).
