Subject: RE: BS: Mutual respect
I am firmly in the camp that makes allowances for abortion in the case of rape, and would recommend it in the case of saving the life of the mother. But both of those "exceptions" are informed BY my Christian theology -- NOT in spite of it.

But having said that, it has just GOT to be the most statistically illogical diversionary rhetorical tactic in the history of mankind to always bring up those two exceptions in the face of over a million abortions performed every year. Of the number of the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of abortions that have occurred over the past twenty years, the number performed for either the life of the mother, or in the case of rape or incest, has got to be statistically insignificant.
