No but really, I'm interested to hear Carm's views on rape. Does 'personhood at conception' apply to pregnancies from rape as well? Or is the fetus/person, who at your own admission had no choice in the matter, able to be aborted?

Only around 4% of rapes lead to pregnancy. Having an abortion after a rape doesn't make any sense, you are murdering someone who didn't take part. If someone attacks you the xhild of the attacker is never killed.

So women who are raped cannot have abortions? And..where the hell did you get that 4% number from?

He must be talking about 'legitimate rape'.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Just answer it plainly. Do you think women who get pregnant as a result of rape (or incest) should be allowed to have abortions?
Also, 'read it somewhere'? Are you fucking kidding me Carm? Have you not been paying attention in any conversation you've had on this site ever? Oh wait, of course you haven't.

The conclusion that I came up with is common sense to me, killing an unborn children because you were raped will not make you feel any better afterwards.
