W's position, on the other hand, is pro life except in cases of rape, incest or if the life of the mother is at risk. Even George's own mother, Barbara, doesn't agree with him on this issue, although now that she's stumping for him, she refuses to discuss it . Few pro-choicers say that they think abortion is a Good Thing, or the best possible solution to an unpleasant situation, especially with contraceptives so readily available. The United States was not designed to be a theocracy. If this were true, then abortion wouldn't just be a possibly-unwise personal choice resulting from carelessness, and a personal decision to be made between a woman and her physician.
Murder is illegal everwhere.
I am unimpressed by that particular argument because it is not an argument at all. Displaying images of broken fetuses is an attempt to appeal to people's emotions, mostly by just grossing them out. I have often wondered what kind of reactions I would get if I set up a booth at the county fair next to the pro-life booth with enlarged pictures of gall bladder operations, tonsillectomies and Halsted radical mastectomies, etc. to decry surgical operations, since they violate the sanctity of the human body , or some such verbiage. Also parenthetically, if every pro-life family adopted at least one child, they would be a hell of a lot more convincing. Another consequence might be fewer abortions, if all women in an unfortunate position knew for certain that their offspring would end up in a loving home, rather than an institution.
