Again, this makes no logical sense. The "right to life" crowd believe that abortion is murder because the fetus is a person with a right to live. Rape and incest cannot possibly justify murder, can it?

(Just to be clear, I do not believe that abortion is murder. I am simply pointing out that those who believe abortion is murder must believe, if they are being logically consistent, that abortion is murder regardless of the circumstances under which the fetus was conceived. Anything else is a moral cop-out.)

Maybe it's like the differences between murder and involuntary manslaughter. Both are the result of a human killing another human, but the circumstances are a huge difference.

(just guessing, I'm pro-choice myself)
