    Oh, I see. It's funny, because I was objecting to how mc mark worded his statement to make it sound like the national outcry against Akin is related to national sentiment on rape exceptions to abortion bans. He'd like to saddle the GOP abortion platform with Akin's ideas regarding rape. I'm just trying to keep the discourse honest; wasn't trying to say anything in that post* about the exception itself.

    * though in a different post I said it was stupid and contradictory.

    Sorry, I already felt free and did my thing! Abortion is abortion. The pertinence is about the behavior that the law has spawned.

    Yeah, fixed it alright. Are you really trying to say that those statistics provided by those Canadian agencies are just giddyup's opinion?

    Anti-abortionist obviously support drug cartels and the cardboard box industry. Or maybe they are just sad to see wasted real estate underneath all of those overpasses when it could be best utilized for affordable housing.

    It is when they are asking somebody else (the government) to pay for it. If they are paying for the abortion themselves, then it is none of our business.

    First off, it isn't being dictated to anybody's vagina. It is affecting the uterus. Since prostitution is illegal, the uterus belongs to the woman, but the vagina is regulated by the state.

    Ban abortion... In 18-20 years the crime rate will go up, the demand for public aid and we will be having yet another debate.

    Andrew Napolitano weighs in:

    http://www.creators.com/opinion/judge-napolitano/abortion-and-rape.html

    Wow!

    "Abortion takes the life of innocent human beings who are the most vulnerable in our society. Abortion is today the most frequently performed medical procedure in the United States. American physicians perform about two abortions every minute of every hour of every day: about 1 million a year since 1973. In my home state of New Jersey, abortion is permitted up to the moment of birth, and the state will even pay for it if the mother meets certain financial criteria."

    and

    "We got here because of the most reprehensible and unconstitutional Supreme Court opinion in the modern era. In a throwback to its infamous Dred Scott decision — in which a pre-Civil War Supreme Court declared that blacks are not persons and hence cannot claim the protections of the Constitution — the court essentially said in Roe vs. Wade the same of fetuses in the womb.

    Roe vs.Wade has spawned more slaughter than all 20th-century tyrants combined. The consequences of this slaughter are vast lost generations of human beings who were denied by the law the right to live. The economic consequences from which we all suffer today — entitlements too costly to afford and too few wage earners to pay for them — are directly attributable to the absence of population growth."

    and

    "What about rape? Rape is among the more horrific violations of human dignity imaginable. But it is a crime committed by the male, not the female — and certainly not by the child it might produce. When rape results in pregnancy, the baby has the same right to life as any child born by mutually loving parents. Only the Nazis would punish a child for the crimes of his or her father.

    Every abortion ends the life of an innocent unborn human being. When politicians in both parties claim to be pro-life but favor abortions because of the criminal behavior of the father, as in rape or incest, they are politically rejecting that hard truth. What other violations of the natural law will they condone for political expedience?"

    The first sentence rendered the rest of the article useless.

    Maybe we should only legalize abortion for illegal immigrants. Think of how much potential future voter fraud we could prevent!
