    If someone truly considers the fetus to be a human with rights then the rape and incest exception makes no sense.

    Yes, obviously

    OK, so why does this argument persist?

    Because if you don't agree with the idea that abortion is OK in the case of rape or incest, then the liberal has clearance to scream and yell as much as they want.

    If you do agree that abortion is OK in the case of rape or incest then a brief period of civil discourse might ensue.

    At least that seems like it's practical effect to me.

      1. The new baby does not have the same DNA as the mother. It is its own distinct person.
      2. If the baby can live outside of the womb, is it ethical to kill it inside of the womb? If not, the argument resolves to 23 weeks (youngest preemie to survive) for even the most ardent abortionist.

      As medical science progresses, it is inevitable that the age of viability will lower. Abortionists are left with less and less ground to stand on...

      The “viability” argument as presented today is problematic. If a “viable” preemie is truly “viable” then simply induce early labor or C-section any post-“viable” preemie from its unwilling (or unfit) host who is seeking an abortion then transfer the preemie’s custody to the state’s adoption agency and you’re done. But instead the anti-abortion crowd often choose to insist that the unwilling (or unfit) host of the fetuses to carry the fetuses to term. If you want to be realistic about this, if a preemie does not have a realistic alternative outside its original womb to survive, than it’s not really “viable”.

              SCOTUS comments:

              On the basis of elements such as these, appellant and some amici argue that the woman’s right is absolute and that she is entitled to terminate her pregnancy at whatever time, in whatever way, and for whatever reason she alone chooses. With this we do not agree. . .

              This is not Dobbs. This is Blackmun's opinion in Roe.

              In other words, the original language in Roe, otherwise held sacred by the left, allowed for restrictions on abortion. So how did Roe become in practice a writ for unlimited abortion on demand? The “exception” for the preservation of the life and health of the mother became the loophole through which abortion became virtually unlimited, as it is not difficult to find a doctor who will “find” that the “mental health” of a woman requires an abortion. (This is one reason why many European nations, which have stricter abortion regulations than the new Mississippi law will impose, require a second opinion before an abortion is granted outside the first 14 weeks.) It was a short step from this loophole to the 1992 Casey decision’s new but undefined “undue burden” standard that made Roe’s ambiguous language obsolete.

                      Somehow, it never gets mentioned in the absolutist discussion on abortion. Besides, it was just a bunch of unelected old white men, which also never gets mentioned.
