Exception for Rape and Incest?

Today we as Catholics in the USA once again do penance and protest for the Supreme Court ruling 39 years ago which permitted legal abortion.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute (part of Planned Parenthood), in 2005, 1.21 million abortions took place in the United States. Some 42,350 of these occurred on women who were 16 to 20 weeks pregnant; over 13,310 occurred on women who were 21 weeks or more into their pregnancy. In 2004 there were 96,890 abortions on women who had had three or more previous abortions.

From 1973 through 2005, more than 45 million legal abortions occurred in our country. No other single cause accounts for more deaths.

Lord have mercy!

Some think there should be exceptions for those conceived by rape and incest. ALL persons are persons no matter how they were conceived. Here is a wonderful website by a woman who was conceived by rape. She is a beautiful, intelligent lawyer. http://www.rebeccakiessling.com/index.html
