It's rare, but it's not impossible.

2- A man should and does not ever have the right to force a woman to have an abortion. If the state was to attempt to enforce such a criminal action I am not exagerating to say that this would be an act of war against the people and that ANY actions allowable in war would be permissable against agents of the state attempting to commit such a crime against humanity.
I feel the same way about the death penalty. I don't think forcing an abortion in this kind of situation is as bad as the death penalty (except the act of war bit...I don't see the logic behind that), but I am against that course of action regardless.
