A reporter asked a question regarding the South Dakota legislation which bans abortion except to save the life of the mother which is likely to be signed by the Governor.
"The state legislature of South Dakota has just passed a new law which allows abortion in case of threat to the mother's life, but denies it to all ages in cases of rape and incest, said the reporter. He then asked, "Does the President believe that rape and incest victims should be denied the right to an abortion?" McLellan responded saying, "the President has made very clear that he is pro-life with three exceptions." While McLellan did not state those exceptions they are widely assumed to be rape, incest and the life of the mother."
See, I don't even support an incest exception like he does, just rape and to save the life of the mother. Yet you're only bashing me. My position on this is mainstream Republican.
By your own admission, then, you're a RINO.
Besides, that is not an answer to wagglebee's question. He asked you "So, you are now trying to claim that Orthodox Judaism supports your pro-abortion agenda? "
Why don't you answer the question asked instead of answering a question you made up that nobody asked?

Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life
Faithful to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life.
"You shall not murder." -- Exodus 20:13
Hmmm...no exceptions there.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL MEN are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..." -- The Declaration of Independence
No exceptions there.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to...secure the Blessings of Liberty to...our POSTERITY, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." -- The Preamble, or Statement of Purpose, of the United States Constitution
The word "posterity" is all-inclusive. No exceptions there.
"NO PERSON shall be deprived of life without due process of law." -- The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution
No exceptions.
"NO STATE shall deprive ANY PERSON of life without due process of law; nor deny to ANY PERSON within its jurisdiction the EQUAL PROTECTION of the laws." -- The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
That doesn't leave out a single square inch of American jurisdiction, or a single person within it. No exceptions.
So, even if you're right, and it is the "mainstream Republican position," - which is highly doubtful since the GOP platform has contained the Reagan personhood, Fourteenth Amendment plank for the last twenty-seven years - that still doesn't make your position moral, or constitutional, or legal.
"There is no maxim in my opinion which is more liable to be misapplied, and which therefore needs elucidation than the current one that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.... In fact it is only reestablishing under another name and a more specious form, force as the measure of right...." James Madison, to James Monroe:
