[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pro-choice because I believe women should be able to make those decisions for herself. But if you're pro-life and believe abortion is murder, there's no principled way to excuse rape victims. We wouldn't legally condone a rape victim hunting down and killing her rapist, so we certainly can't condone her murdering the baby who committed no crime against her at all.[/quote]

Yes, there is. Usually making absolutes about other people's ideas is a bad idea. [/quote]

Then please explain what makes murder of an innocent person acceptable.[/quote]

When the law doesn't consider it a "person?"[/quote]

So if conceived during consensual sex, it's a person and aborting it would be murder, but if conceived due to rape, it's not a person? How does that work? Your personhood is based on how you were conceived?[/quote]

I thought only Catholics believe life begins at conception?

The points is to avoid legislating the uterus' of women.  They are big enough to made decisions on their own bodies without state involvement.  I'd check the laws, but I believe legally life begins at birth.

I woman should never be forced to carry the fetus of a man that raped her -ever- as that is further violating her.[/quote]

while I obey the laws, I would never ever use them to define my morality.[/quote]

The exercise your CHOICE and not get an abortion.  Your morality should not dictate the discisions of another women. The law protects this.[/quote]

Different poster, but this is stupid. If you genuinely believe that innocent people are being unjustly killed, how could you ever remain silent about it?  "I know you think this is murder, but respect my right to murder someone!"[/quote]

Well, you have no right to decide what a person does or does not do with their own body. You can voice your disagreements, but that's about it. [/quote]

We as a society decide that 16 year olds cannot drink alcohol or fight in wars. We make certain substances illegal for use without Doctor prescription. We out law certain types of medical practices....

Society has no problem telling other people what they can and cannot do with their bodies.

Try again....[/quote]
