Many women could just say they were raped.

If a woman just says that then they will be denied. Simple. Just need court evidence to prove it.

    So a women goes out, someone slips the rap drug in her drink, she gets pregnant, no signs of rape, she doesn't get an abortion?

    Its a tough situation, but if they is evidence that proves a women was for sure raped, she should be able to(of course up to only a month or so), but if they cant find it if she was raped, then she shouldnt be able to get one. It would be a extremely complicated and situational law, but I think it would be best.

    Allowing abortion only if there was rape...thats a bit too slippery a slope for me....there would be so many challenges, it would end up being a mess. There are many possible situations for a women to get raped where there are no 'signs'. Besides, can you say you are 100% for life when you allow raped women to kill innocent babies?

    Abortion -- Pro-LifeGay Marriage -- For, I don't see any difference between people who quote the bible on the subject and homophobes discriminating against these people.Iraq War -- For, I don't agree with the way it has been handled but I agree about being thereGun Control -- Stricter laws are neededNational Health Care -- Supports to an extent. I believe for life threatening injuries and/or diseases there should have some form of universal coverage but for non-terminal illnesses/injuries I believe that should be between the people and health care providers. Illegal Immigration -- AgainstDeath Penalty -- SupportsAffirmative Action -- AgainstLegalization of Marijuana -- AgainstPatriotism -- what is being asked here? I do believe it is a large load of crap for people who all of a sudden started caring/showing support for the U.S. right after 9/11 claiming to be patriotic just because they chant U.S.A. and place "I support the troops" stickers on the back of their vehicles.Political side -- Conservative

    Yeah, I dont agree with the death penalty either..unless the person is so dangerous a country or something cant safely obtain him.The abortion thing is a very hard topic to decide on. Your right, it would be extremely messy if they were to do that. Its easier to say than done. Im against it though, but you have to have sympathy for the rape victims...but your comment it right, does that give them the right to take a soon to be babies life away? No. Im still thinking about this, but im not sure. Id rather not have abortions at all though.

    There are some people who just don't diserve to live. there is a case here in utah in the 80s were some airmen went into an electronics shop and murdered a bunch of people, they didn't just murder them; they raped the women, tortured them, poured draino down their throats and disfigured the people. 3 of the 4? were executed for their crime, and they should have been. If you tourture and murder someone you don't diserve to live in Prison. I also think child molesters should be executed; they F*ck up little kids for the rest of their lives.I'm against abortion because I think a fetus is really a human being. I'm not very religious and this is one of few issues I agree with the far right on. I do think that prevention of unwanted pregnancies will circumvent the abortion issue. But this is something the far right won't budge on; they don't want birth control and sex ed availble to help prevent unwanted pregnancies. one study I read said that 95% of abortions are performed on women 13-26 years of age. thats an age, especially teenage years, inwhich people are very impressionable. if you teach them what are the potential consequences of unprotected sex, they're going to be less likely to have it.

They're not a threat to society behind bars, and, more importantly, it costs too much money nowadays to "humanely" murder the murderers.Things like the Tookie Williams debacle make me sick.As Mahatma Ghandi said: An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blindOf course Ghandi was a douchebag and a hypocrite, but I won't get into that here.
