If A Person Is Pro-Life.....

Hmmm, the post was from March, J. Furthermore, that answer was hidden within over half a page of his post. It was a needle in a needlestack.

Your stance is a little more ambiguous. I use stance lightly.

You say that you can see "instances where there is an argument".

Either way a child's life is deemed less important due to rape and that is hypocritical.

It is placing the importance of the mother in a non-life threatening situation, over the child.

So you're ignoring the psychological impact a "rape child" could have which could be potentially life threatening?

No.

FFS how many times, just because I can see there is an argument doesn't mean I agree with it.

I can see the argument for torture as well and can even understand why some people would find it acceptable in certain circumstances, that doesn't mean I agree with them

I never, ever place the child's life as being anything other than of paramount importance. However there are instances where there are other considerations. To me that only involves another human life and does not include matters of convenience or cosmetics.

Sorry my last 2 sentences are directed towards j2's comments, not yours.

You and j2 have different views on the matter.

I'm sure you will see how it looked to the reader.

No.

So a pro-lifer isn't being hypocritical if they suggest it is acceptable to them that a rape victim can have an abortion?

[Busyman™]

No.

Speaking from experience I'm pro choice but does n't make it any easier when one goes thru it . I'm constantly reminded of the choice my ex and I made so many years ago just by reading this thread . Mistake oh hell ya, would of ,could of , should of doesnt make me feel any better . I would of been a good father much earlier .

The mom has so many rights that a father can't compete , were just a tool in many ways . It caused the breakup of my first marriage because I had no say in what mattered and to be truthful I gave up too easily .

and believes a human comes into being at the moment of conception then the only reasonable circumstance for an abortion would be to save the mother's life.

To say that there are other extenuating circumstances is bunkum.

Rape? So you, Joe Pro-Lifer, condone the killing of a child due to an unwanted participant of the mother?

Incest? So kill the child because of possible birth defects or embarrassment?

Birth defects? See above. So kill the child because it will be inconvenient to manage?

If you have "extenuating" circumstances to your pro-life beliefs besides saving the mother, you are full of shit.

Amen.

Ummm.

Why do you take so much shit dude, just start killing mofos.

I sense here an opportunity to reiterate my first (indeed, my only) point:

You present a pretext with optional and circumstantial qualifiers.

You then state that the only legitimate case for abortion is to save the life of the mother, ignoring the fact your definition of what others deem an appropriately rigid pro-life stance would preclude even that, it being but another "extenuating" circumstance.

You've played "gotcha" with yourself, and you accomplished that goal with your starter post.

We've merely been attempting to save you a bit of embarrasment.

Perhaps you ought to give us your rationale for preferring to save the mother's life, and then demonstrate how you parse that seamlessly into your version of everybody else's flawed pro-life stance.
