I would think so... I think that's generally an exception.

Yes. That is the one exception Palin makes. (She does not make exceptions for the case or rape or incest.)

I am appalled that she is against abortion even in rape cases.
As a woman, I can't comprehend how ANY woman would vote for her knowing this fact. I would feel so terrible for all the mothers of children of rape... no idea what that would be like (and hope I never do... which is why we have to elect Obama.) She's a woman herlself. How could a woman not understand? |

I feel like you CAN'T be against abortion in cases of rape. How would they prove it? Every woman who wanted an abortion would just say "I was
raped!" It would never work.

well see the thing i don't understand is they say as one of many reasons against abortion is for the fact that they don't want people getting them and
not be responsible for their actions. so is that saying the rape was the victims FAULT! that's horrible
and the comment about people lying and saying they were raped...um most women when they're raped REPORT the incident to the police. if they don't that's their fault. but if they do it's not hard to go back and pull the police report up and see they told them they were raped and do their math and see that's when the baby was conceived |

LOL yes they can prove rape. the victim goes to the hospital and/or police and gets inspected for vaginal tears (forced entry) and DNA. they usually also try to catch the rapist. unless you keep the rape a secret i guess...??? |

If you go to the hospital right after the rape and have a rape kit done, hospitals can give you the morning after pill. In some states it is mandatory that
they have the morning after pill available for rape victims.

But are these women not supposed to be allowed an abortion until the rapist and is caught convicted? That could take months, years, or it could never happen. You can't place the burden of proof on the woman. Also, what if the woman DOESN'T go to the police because she's raped by a boyfriend, family member, or is just plain ashamed? It just isn't plausible. It would never work. |

I am not understanding your question here. Under the circumstances listed above, if abortion were illegal... she'd have to go through with having the baby out of rape from her boyfriend/family member (if its a family member the child would have a lot of problems no doubt) however, if abortion were legal (how it is today) she wouldnt need to go to police, etc. if she didnt want anyone to know. She could go to a safe abortion clinic and get it taken care of. I don't understand what you're trying to prove or disprove. I was simply stating that we need to keep McCain/Palin out of office if we want to keep our reproductive rights.

My mother was raped, I am the product. Both of us are pro-choice and are absolutely 100% DISGUSTED with Palin and women fawning over her. ABSOLUTELY
DISGUSTING! She's vile.

I was stating that it can be, but it's not always the case, and that's why making abortion illegal with including an exception for rape would never work. |

well then let's hope it doesn't become totally illegal then. because even rape victims with evidence would be screwed.

also, Palin is against abortions no exceptions. so, if you got pregnant on purpose but your doctor said labor might kill you... it's too damn bad.
You're SOL.
That's unacceptable. |
