Do you know that less that 1% of all abortions involved rape victims?
I have stated over and over that abortion should be allowed if someone was raped.
Well technically, Incest can be consensual, and if it's between consensual 2 adults then why do you care? What they do in their bed is their business is it not? That's the message you've been telling right wingers for years about same-sex marriage, but that's another argument for another thread.
Now if it was incest was not consensual then it would fall under rape. Which again, I have stated over and over that abortion should be allowed.
I'm sure that most right wingers are fine with abortion due to rape. So it's really not a valid part of your argument anymore.
2012 is the latest information for me to pull from:
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6410a1.htm?s_cid=ss6410a1_e
A total of 699,202 abortions were reported to CDC for 2012
Seems to me that this is the normal ratio of abortions for several years running:
95% of abortions are done as birth control, 1% are done because of rape/incest, 1% because of fetal abnormalities, and 3% due to the mother's health problems.
95% 664,242 from Birth Control
3% 20,976 from mother's health problems
1% 6,992 Rape/incest
1% 6,992 fetal abnormalities
Now of that, I am fine with aborting for the 5% reasons. No problems there for me or most right wingers either, so toss them out.
How do we deal with the 95%.
Right wingers just wrote a law that makes no exceptions for rape. So... argument = valid.
This is how they think. And is why I think they have no business telling a woman what she can and cant do with her body.
