Realize that the exception cases many pro-life people agree on, like rape and when the mother's life is in peril, are around 1% of all abortion cases, and the other 99% are simply "elective". The exceptions do not justify the elective abortions. It's not that juvenile. We can ban abortions where those factors of being the result of a documented crime or causing a legitimate medical emergency are not present.

and like i said above, the issue of a documented crime is a thorny one. what if the accused rapist goes free? what if the case doesn't go to trial? or what if people just shouldn't have to meet your choice of a burden of proof? then there's the fact that people can find professionals to say yea or nay to pretty much any topic under the sun, who would be the decider? three doctors say no, three say yes-should it be a committee? how much of a fight would it take? what if someone had to go through said hoops, was rejected by the 'abortion police' and died?
or, what if we just stay out of it, and let folks decide for themselves...no, we can't do that, we must be other peoples' judges.
and where does the 1% come from you mentioned above? have you done a survey? how many women don't say it was a crime, or a molestation? how many victims don't speak out already because they feel shame?
at any rate, i don't feel it's anyone's place to tell others what they should or shouldn't do regarding their reproduction choices. it's no one else's business.
and i asked you in a post above, but i guess you missed it...how does someone else's right affect you? how does a woman's right to choose have any affect on your life?
