No abortions any time for any reason or circumstance could be accurately be labeled an extreme position.

Free abortions any time up to and including the time the cord is cut is the opposite extreme position. This position is however is NEVER labeled extreme in the lamestream press.

And in certain very narrow and limited circumstances, society provides that the life of another may be taken. JLA

>…Abortion is therefore still murder.<

Indeed it is murder. Nevertheless there is a way of reasoning that would place the blame upon the rapist for the murder. I do not yet buy it, but it has possibilities.

Principle would mandate we keep the child under all circumstances unless it threatens the life of the mother. Ghastly? Of course it is, but not because of the child. The rape itself makes it ghastly. Life can be dang tough, but it leaves us few excuses to kill other humans.

Of course folk today are generally too wimpy to sacrifice as a matter of course for anything, let alone for the benefit of an unborn child conceived of rape. Fortunately rape and incest present extenuating circumstances that by reason would completely change the nature of punishment for the abortion murder, even completely eradicating it.
