It's a difficult issue, which is why it's so polarizing. From a pure moral standpoint, I believe abortion is wrong, end of discussion. However, when it comes to things like rape or incest, there is definitely a gray area. It's easy to say take Plan B or something, but that really overlooks the state of mind that someone would have after experiencing something that traumatic.

That said, if you make any kind of exception to a law, there are guaranteed to be hoards of vultures who will try to exploit it in any way possible. There would for sure be professional abortion lawyers taking advantage of it, thousands of women claiming they were raped when they weren't, etc. It would open a huge can of worms.

That's how we got Roe in the first place. Norma admitted she was told to lie about her pregnancy.

I do not consider it a gray area because the best argument against abortion is the life of the child. The child had nothing to do with rape or incest.

well, I think there has to be exceptions for special circumstances. Lawyers are never going away...

what the right decision here? does it have to be all or nothing? If so, then I think everything ends up staying as it is

we're trying to do away with "I got pregnant with boyfriend and I don't want this baby"... a woman doesn't know if she is pregnant until it's 6 weeks or so, at that point, wow...it's a moral struggle...
