What I've never understood is how anyone who is truly pro-life could ever support an exception for rape. If an abortion is truly equivalent to a murder, I don't see how it would be justified in a rape situation.
This. It's like when Ron Paul said that states should be allowed to decide. If he genuinely thinks that abortion is murder of a person then he wouldn't have that position. He wouldn't allow the states to start killing seniors right? That would be murder. Then if he seriously think abortion is the same thing he wouldn't be in favor of allowing states to decide on that either.
I'm saying this as a pro-choice person.
