    Let me guess, you didn’t watch the clip where he explains it’s a complex issue that should be viewed from all angles and not just life and death. If you’re so worried about death then consider the women who’s lives are in danger because they have to endure a non viable pregnancy to term because a bunch of politicians have no concept of medical care.

      Whats the point of bringing this up when you know full well you are okay with abortions in situations where the mothers life is not threatened

        The mother’s life is not threatened if she is raped and a pregnancy results. Should she be forced to bring that fetus to term?

          It’s an uncomfortable situation but I wouldn’t be opposed as long as there was a police report proving it and wasn’t an excuse to get out of unwanted pregnancies.

            So you’ll force a woman to not only go through the trauma of a police rape investigation, but also expect the police to be honest about whether or not she wanted to get out of a pregnancy that happened due to consensual sex?

            Sounds like a good way to take away a woman’s freedom in the most traumatic way possible.
