>There is some dispute, even among "pro-lifers", regarding the "rape and incest" issue. Particularly in the case of rape, the woman has no responsibility at all for causing the
pregnancy. If chosen, an abortion could be considered as a continuation of the original
assault.<

A continuation of the assault due to her having to endure the abortion ordeal? I can understand this. Nevertheless, one could argue that forcing her to give birth to the child is also a continuation of the assault.

Principle informs me the child is human and therefore taking its life is in error. However, because the child resulted of an assault, I could possibly stomach a claim against its life on this basis, provided such a compromise would eliminate the wholesale death our country now accepts.
