You see... the moment someone starts talking about legislating abortion rights away, they immediately start talking about exceptions and exclusions. If you truly believe that it is murder and that no woman has the right to choose an abortion, you have to believe that aborting a fetus that resulted from rape or incest is equally murder.
Here is my angle on it.
If the law protects the life of fetus as a life in one case and killing it is murder, then it has to protect the life in all cases regardless.
It's either a legally defined life to be protected, or it is not. That needs to be the first thing straightened out. Which is it, one way or the other....not both.
So yes, if I believed that it is a human life and protected as such under law, then in no instance should anyone be allowed to kill it, unless the woman's life is in danger due to the pregnancy and not aborting would cause the mother and, as a result, the fetus die.
Basically, it's either a human life with full protection, or it is not.
