TIME: Interesting Abortion Commentary
Nancy Gibbs, author of "When Is an Abortion Not an Abortion?" in TIME magazine, wrote an insightful article about the S.D. abortion ban. She made an excellent comment on the lack of exceptions for rape and incest in her article:What strikes me reading the bill is that this is a case where the Purists have carried the day. If a fetus is an innocent life deserving the full protection of the law, then the circumstances of conception, no matter how tragic, are irrelevant. Punish the rapist, they say, not the baby. Even the bill’s opponents agree that it has a kind of logical integrity. If this effort succeeds it will redraw the battle lines in the 30 Years Abortion War.
I agree Nancy. The circumstances of conception are irrelevant.

Of course ... the entire abortion controversy is about control.
The "Pro-Lifers" believe that they (and presumably "God") have more of a right to determine what a woman should do with her body than she does.
I'd say that's pretty presumtuous.
Not to mention unconstitutional.
And not on 14th amendment grounds, but 13th.
