Republicans, what is your stance on abortion for rape victims?

Question

Iluvmyhubby... every one is here for a reason? are you sure about that? ... you do know thousands of children die of disease and starvation every day across the world, right? what's their point in living?

Answer 1

The real problem is 96% of abortion is birth control and a mere 4% is for rape and/or medical necessity for the mother's life.  How could we possibly know in the case of rape?  If they were to devise such a thing, I believe we would see *rape occurrences* skyrocket, right?

It would have to be all or nothing...or a medical necessity.

Answer 2

The problem with making any exception is that there is no way to quickly or accurately determine who is eligible for a legal abortion. Imagine trying to get a court date and prove you were raped with no rapist in sight, or a date rapist that says it was consensual.

You just can't do it! Either all abortions are legal or illegal. You can't have it both ways.

I personally lean towards all should be illegal.

Palin is the only candidate that supports banning the birth control pill.

It's worth noting that Gov.Palin is a member of "Feminists for Life", an organization with members that openly support outlawing all "non-abortifacient contraception" (anything that stops implantation of the fertilized egg). http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/ff...

Most women do not know that all BC pills kill  babies and here is how.

We may not be able to overturn Roe vs Wade but there is no constitutional right to the birth control pill.

As VP she could break a tie vote in the Senate, and explain this to the men in the Senate.

Since McCain's father did not live to 72 she will probably even be President.

Answer 3

that's really easy for you to say when you haven't been raped. Its can take years to regain some sense of normalcy. let alone find out you are pregnant then carry that baby to term then give it up for adoption? at the same time you are having to comes to terms with the fact you were raped. being a victim myself i suffered from horrible PTSD, i wouldn't wish it on anyone. and personally i find it offensive that people would still under these circumstances want me to have the child. i think you should have that right to choose.

Answer 4

I'm against it, I know that rape is a horrible tragedy for women who have been victimized,but I don't understand why women should be victimized all over again with abortion. Everyone is here for a reason and why not give the baby a chance at life. Why not turn something horrible into something positive, a new life. The baby is an innocent victim too,and they don't deserve the death penalty.

Answer 5

I'm republican and I think abortion for any reason is fine.. unless its used simply as birth control and then that is just sick and sadistic...

As a party though the general stance is in cases of rape, incest or risk to the mother abortion is fine.  Its just for recreational purposes that it isnt liked

Answer 6

I know my answer will not be popular, but I don't think there is ever a reason for an abortion.  Rape victims can carry the child to term and put it up for adoption.
