If you want to lose the debate on abortion, and ensure that it stays legal for another 47 years, this is the moronic line of argumentation you should use.

He’s pro-life unless the baby’s father is a rapist, or may endanger the mother. Then, the baby is apparently subhuman, and can be cut into pieces. And ol’ Mr. greatest gift to the pro-life movement is actually pro-choice.

If you want to start winning this debate, you have to hold a consistent position. Abortion is murder, because babies are human from conception. The baby of a rapist is still a human with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If a pregnancy is risking the life of the mother, both the mother and the baby should receive the maximum amount of medical treatment available. (I don’t know what kind of mother would say that if her life was in danger, her child should be hacked to pieces.)

In reality, this is generally the pro-life position, certainly of elected officials. If this is what passes for pro-life, we need to put an end to the pro-life movement. there is a movement to abolish abortion, and this movement is called abolitionism. That is what I am, and there is no peace with child sacrifice in abolitionism.
