Now, I don't agree with unwavering pro-lifers, but it is a consistent position. If life does begin at conception, it makes sense.

Coming from that viewpoint, making a special exception for mothers whose lives are in danger seems like a perfectly defensible position to me.

But opposing abortion except in the case of rape I just don't get. I'm sure it's a situtation that seriously sucks for the mother, to put it mildly, but if abortion is killing a baby, it's still killing a baby no matter how conception occurred.

It seems like a case of wanting to have things both ways. I'm thinking that in the to be a human life and people will back off of their faith in a truly repugnant situation.
