Perry Changes Position on Exceptions for Abortion
Whatever your opinion on abortion or when life begins might be, I find it very worrying and scary when politicians (or anyone else for that matter) say they are against abortion, even when the life of the mother is at stake. I can understand being pro-life in the case of rape or incest, but to ignore the life of the mother seems to be very calloused.
Rick Perry is essentially saying that the life of the unborn child is more important than the mother, and what politician (or any other person) is qualified to say whose life is more important. It sets a very dangerous precedent.
And I'm no doctor, but it is my understanding that in pregnancies where the life of the mother are at risk, there's not that great of a chance that the baby will survive either.
