Would you allow for abortion in the case of rape?

I'm very happy with the way things are right now. I'm only interested in your ideas if you have something to offer that could make the life of both women and kids better. Would you support having the government pay for all medical expenses related to the pregnancy? Even if the woman changes her mind a few months later and decides to have an abortion? Even if the woman decides to keep the child later on instead of offering to offer him/her for adoption? Would you support having the government pay for the extra "sick" days and maternal leave coming with the pregnancy and delivery? What about food programs for pregnant women? (Here, pregnant women can get eggs, orange juice and milk paid for by the state for exemple). Is that what you mean by a pro-adoption campaign? Or did you just envisionned TV commercials and such?

The legal definition of murder is homicide with premeditation and malice aforethought. Abortion, regardless of one's opinion of it, does not meet the defintion of murder (neither does euthanasia or capital punishment, for that matter).

It does involve premeditation though, as well as malice afterthought.
...I think... As long as malice means what I think it means... |

You are also misguided if you believe abortions to be pain-free (physical and emotional). Soyin |
