You wrote:<font color=blue>"Notwithstanding that you are talking about a very very rare instance ..."<font color=black> What is your point about the rarity of a pregnancy caused by rape? If it is very, very rare, would that mean that the woman should have the right not to carry a monster's baby? You wrote:<font color=blue>"your final solution would be to pit not woman against rapist, but rather you wish to pit mother against child."<font color=black> One of the greatest joys that a couple can experience, is having a child who inherited half of it's genes from the mother and the other half from the father. A woman carries the baby to birth, knowing that the child will be a result of the love between her and her husband. You are saying that you want to force a woman to bear a child with half of it's genes from the mother, and the other half of the genes from a monster. That is cruelty beyond compare. You've got to be deranged to want to torture a rape victim like that. If the pregnancy is caught quickly, before anything human really forms, then it is a sample matter to give the woman the choice between bearing a child, out of love, or out of violent rape. You wrote:<font color=blue>"No doubt, a rape is a horrible act of violence against the victim....so your answer is to create another violent act in which the victim is involved."<font color=black> There is no victim when the abortion is done early. You wrote:<font color=blue>"Change parties, President Bush does not need your slimy vote."<font color=black> There are many of us pro-choice conservatives in the Republican Party. Be careful what you ask for. If your anti-social extremism chases away many of the caring, thoughtful, and compassionate pro-choice voters, like me, you might get Al Sharpton for president.
