“Have you ever thought about the possibility that a woman who has conceived as the result of a rape and knows that she could abort that baby could actually be empowered...”
While I’m sure lots of people feel a sense of power when you give them permission to murder other human beings, I don’t think that is the best argument in favor of anything.
First, thanks for cutting off my comment in mid-sentence, and second, I was not making an argument in favor of abortion. I was merely hypothesizing about a possibility that since abortion is legal at this point, having a choice after being raped (no choice) actually may strengthen a woman’s resolve to do the morally right thing. Granted, that hypothesis doesn’t add much to the debate, never claimed it did.
