answer:I find that when discussing anything, the exceptions are things that really shed light on the rule. When we think about hunting, many of us will say that trophy hunting is wrong but killing for food is acceptable. If we spend some time in those distinctions and really work out why the exceptions break the rule, we’re likely to figure out exactly what it is we believe. In an attempt to argue for these FB friends of yours, let me assert that abortion is murder. However, there are some scenarios in which murder is better than the alternative. So, in this case, it’s better to not force women to carry out a pregnancy that is the result of rape. But I still can be against abortion in non-rape cases because I see non-rape pregnancies as a choice. And therefore, the people engaged in sexual activity that leads to this pregnancy (“life”) must deal with the consequences – or at least carry to term and give up for adoption. While I’m presenting the anti-choice position here, I’d like to note that: - I’m actually extremely pro-choice. – I’m also not a fan of abortion. But safe access to legal abortion is a necessity. – There are people in the US that refuse to even concede that there should be an exception for rape. I think it would be wise for us to reach out to those who do see room for exception. These people may be just one step removed from fully supporting reproductive freedom. – For those non-US people here on ask-public, yes – we still have to worry about this “issue” here in the US. While legal, there are constant legal challenges to it in the most creative ways.
