Last time, we explored a simple way to show someone that "pro-life except for rape and incest" is not really pro-life. Just ask him if the same circumstance that he thinks justifies abortion would also justify the killing of a two-year-old.

Last time, we discussed the reason why you cannot be "pro-life except for rape and incest." This is because, if you believe that circumstances of conception can be more significant than the innate value of the baby's life, then you really do not value the baby's life according to its true nature. Life is an inestimably valuable gift from God.

Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance found himself in trouble when he said that our nation was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable with their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” That was likely not the most gentlemanly thing to say.

Fetal personhood laws could also impact contraception access, given that some members of the anti-abortion movement argue that IUDs and the emergency contraception Plan B can prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg and violate personhood, explains Mary Ziegler, an abortion law historian at the University of California, Davis, School of Law.
