The rapist, afaik. Either way, I don’t see what forcing 10 year olds to have children does, as we actively shame a religion for worshiping a prophet that did the same thing.
Pay no heed to the extremists, nearly every pro-lifer (of whom I am not one) supports rape exceptions.
I'm guessing that at least some of these stories are lies. But give it time and some real cases will occur. And that will be a threat for the pro-life cause if they resist any sort of exception.
FWIW I entirely and whole-heartedly agree with you.
The problem, as someone else pointed out, is that the Left is not interested in compromise. They know (okay -- some of them know) that these articles are misleading or fabricated, but they don't care.
You and I are sitting here ready to compromise at the rape/incest line, but they'll never agree there. Ever. Look at this clip of Catherine Foster throwing this at Jamie Raskin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCh6hwJdAg4 -- he completely ignores and moves on.
Our enemy wants to crush us. They want elective abortions for any reason up to and beyond viability and they will use rape and incest victims to achieve it.
So what are we to do, then? Step in between the absolutist pro-lifers and the pro-abortionists? To what gain?
