Abortion and Women's Rights

[John V]

But is this right to life more important than the womans bodily rights?
Which is more immoral? an abortion, or violating a persons bodily rights?

That's a matter of opinion. I'm addressing the hypocrisy issue. The fact that someone will compromise a position for practical gain doesn't necessarily mean that they don't really hold to their professed values, as was charged.

Let's look at it from the opposite side. Suppose there's a country in which all abortion is illegal. Some people claim they support abortion on demand, yet are trying to push through a law allowing abortion in cases of rape or the mother's life in danger. Does this indicate that they don't really support abortion on demand? I don't think so. I think they're being practical and trying to get what they can for the moment, even though they don't recognize it as ideal.

Same for the abortion opponent who would compromise on rape cases.
