These kinds of tragedies occurred long before Roe v. Wade...and they will occur long after. I do not feel that it is a reason to keep Roe v. Wade from being overturned.
I knew I'd hear from you eventually, plawrence...your attempts at trick questions and/or backing others into a corners or 'if you were the friend/family member of...' do not impress me, nor have they ever. I've listened to too much Sean Hannity, he uses the same tactics in his interviews and they are neither creative nor very effective.
Nice try, though. 
Apple What "trick" question?
It's a perfectly legitimate one.
If there are any tricks being played here, it's the way you're attempting to dodge answering it.
Altho from this statement of yours:
I approve (and hope for) the eventual overturn of Roe v. Wade...precisely because it DOESN'T limit the legality of abortion to rape/incest victims.I infer that you have answered it because you seem to imply that if Roe v. Wade
did limit the right to abortion to rape and incest victims you would be OK with it.
But then, you go on to say
If it is eventually overturned, and a rape/incest victim does seek an abortion and it is that important to her, then she will have to find a way to get one. Otherwise, she will have to make the decision to give up the child for adoption or keep and raise it.You seem to imply that even rape or incest victims should be denied abortions.
But if it's OK for the rape or incest victim "to find a way to get one", then I guess that will apply to anyone who wants one, if you're suggesting that they get one illegally.
Forget your daughter or sister or whomever.
Do you think that the right to abortion should or should not apply to rape and incest victims?
As far as the "trick question" tactic being creative, what in any of this is creative?
Just the same old stuff as the last time and the time before that.
But effective? Yeah, I'd say it was, or you'd have no problem or trouble in anwering it, even though it's not a "trick question" to begin with.
And BTW, as far as I know, abortions were always legally available in cases where the mother's physical or mental health was in danger.
Would you eliminate those as well?
