I find it difficult to understand how someone as smart as you is willing to place the inconvenience of a small percentage of women ahead of an unborn's constitutional right to equal protection under the law. Where does it say in the Constition that we have a right not to be inconvenienced? I'm pretty sure there's a small piece detailing how we all are equal under the eyes of the law. I'm curious to hear you explain your position further, because I'm deeply confused as to how one can agree that only some of the unborn deserve the protection of our laws.

I don't understand how someone read the constitution and determined abortion was legal but they did.

Also remember that if my ideal law was supported by the majority and put into place there would be no such exception. All abortions except in cases where reasonable and serious physical danger existed would be illegal after sometime towards the end of the first trimester. So its not that I look at the unborn resulting from rape as worth less.

However in the absence of that I believe the next best solution is the one I explained. Above all else I believe a law on abortion should be based on the beliefs of the people and the people for the most see an abortion in cases of rape much differently than not.

Interestingly enough it is your position which in my opinion devalues human life more so than mine . for if having a life created inside you, having it developement from your body and then bringing into the world should only be seen as an inconvienence than how truly objectionable can deciding to end that process midstream be. You speak of this inconvenience as if it is something that can be forgotten and not one that would affect the mother for the remainder of her life. Atleast I believe giving birth is that significant an experience.

I view the decision to create life as this world's most important and I think it should not be hoisted upon someone against their will. The point at which this choice is made is at intercourse. In the absence of that form of free agency I would then allow the woman to consult her own internal set of values to make the decision.

It has so far already been determined that the constitution that the life of the unborn is not of equal value to the born. Any further distinctions we make are strictly morale, not legal,and I am quite comfortable with mine.
