Michael,

This is such a ridiculous argument. What percentage of abortions result from rape? From incest? For that matter what is the percentage of partial birth abortions? Or even the absolute number?

Framing a discussion like this is very polarizing.

I am morally against abortion, but see the need for the exception for those 0.05% cases requiring medical (late term for mothers health) or psychological (rape and incest) reasons.

This is like arguing that because Ted Bundy clearly deserved the death penalty - we should execute every violent offender in prison (a few hundred thousand a month). Crime would sure go down.

Like the death penalty I can see separating my personal beliefs from law - but clearly the pro-abortion crowd goes too far the other way. They expect us to provide abortions as a right though Government money at any time right up to birth.
