I don't understand this rationale.
Let us imagine that you are a strong abortion opponent, insisting that a fetus has the same rights as a woman and that abortion is "murder."
Abortion should be outlawed, you say, except in cases of rape and incest.
Now imagine that the light of your life, your bright-spirited 13-year-old daughter is attacked on her way home from 8th grade. She is held down and the attacker has forced himself onto her, shattering her inncocence, ripping her insides. Imagine that she was too afraid to scream for you to come help her.
This all comes out when, three months later, you learn she is pregnant.
Being a good parent, you allow her to have an abortion.
Isn't this just a cop out? Obviously you don't believe that the fetus is human... it didn't do anything wrong, but you don't want to put your child through any more than she's been through. This is admirable, but this sounds like abortion is wrong unless YOU decide it isn't.
Please explain.
