Second. There is no way in the world I want to be the person to tell a female rape victim who becomes pregnant they have to carry that fetus to term. Horrible way to operate and this is part of what Harry Blackmun did write about. You can talk all you wnat to about society of 'morals and values' but even priests have been known to rape. Right to lifers really don't think about these things.

Third, most pro-life people have not REALLY read through the Supreme Court decision and realize the complexities of the issue...go back to what I just said---that is only one scenerio of many those of staunchly interpreted Christian belief fail to understand.

So who will adopt a crack baby that would have to brought to term by a mother who was messed up on crack and then raped? What wonderful Evangelical Christian church will intervene and make this all happen? Pay for mentally and physically deficiant person to live their life(?)...oh, I get it, they won't but then the federal governement does have to jump on the tail end and make it right and pay for a mental health facility or care center for a retarded child. If Roe v. Wade was overturned you might as well go back to the time of the Scarlet Letter.
