I fear this may lead to more "back alley coat-hanger abortions". Not only in the case of rape, but a just plain unwanted pregnancy. My deepest sympathies go out to any women who will be harmed because of the narrowminded policies being instituted by our current administration. Maybe after seeing some ill-effects the state will come around. Still, some women are going to have to suffer to change that and that isn't right.
Well, Than I'd say that I hope all the women have family in other states or are financially capable of getting out of there. I don't know if you everf been raped before but methinks you haven't. Imagine it happening to you with and then having to give birth to the baby of the person who forcebly RAPED you. I wonder if you could really love that child as your own. Let that swirl around for awhile.
And I didn't realize we were playing a game here with sides and decks. Last time I checked nobody was keeping score of anything. You know what? Let that swirl aroundfor awhile, too.
Gender: Male Location: Impacting nations and generations
Then imagine me raising the child, with more love and dedication than it normally takes.
Imagine me trusting God to take that evil (rape) and make somehting good out of it(love, parenthood, enriched-life,grandchildren).
Imagine me building integrity and character by doing what's right in the most horrible of circumstances. (what we do in the worst of times defines who we are.)
Then imagine that my son or daughter becomes a great person, a sennator, or even President.
Imagine me seeing that I was incredibly blessed for following the Will of the Lord.
...and imagine the person who raped you being allowed by law to come into contact with your little bundle of love...and to be able to partially dictate that child's future.
Yeah, but the problem with logic is that it's doesn't collaborate with a government that decides to promote the principle of freedom around the world at the same time as attempting to restrict it within its own country.

The bumper sticker stuff was contained in the post you quoted.
The choice was the choice to abort.
The useful tool was logic.
Seriously though, this whole thing is idiotic. Not because rape/incest abortions are being prevented, but because any right to choose is being removed.
That's slightly veering off-topic though. I just find it funny, reading the original post. It's so beyond funny that it's not funny. Although it then goes so far beyond that, it's funny again.
Or maybe it's a big Wheel of Fortune type wheel, with 'funny' and 'beyond funny' alternately, and it ended up on funny after a big spin.
i think you're taking on a bit of a persecution complex.
although you certainly did comment on the rights of a rapist in
one post, you went on and made a sweet sappy post of how this
law somehow has a silver lining, leaving out the horrid situation
you initially pointed out. thats why it was brought up again.
