So a woman should be able to abort a fetus (scientific way of saying "kill her baby") because she has the right to as an American? Up to what point? If it's got a heartbeat and breathing, I call it a "baby"...and I think it ought to have some rights, at least to life.

I'm not sure that it should be OK to kill a baby in any situation...even in cases of rape and incest. Comment was made above about punishing those that are guilty, not punishing an innocent child. I think there's some common sense in that. I realize that carrying a baby after being raped would be horrible beyond imaginable though...tough.

Abortion is just a hard thing to debate...no doubt about it...
