The Corner

R&I

Hadn’t thought of this:

Hi Jonah. Long time corner-phile, first email

A rape exception makes sense because it is the only circumstance in which a woman has not chosen to risk becoming pregnant.

In my opinion, when a man and woman have a sexual relationship, they are (among other things) taking certain risks. She is risking bearing a child, and he is risking paying child support. Rape takes away her choice.

Me: However persuasive and/or interesting these arguments are, none of them speaks to the question of whether it is “extreme” for a pro-lifer to disagree with them. Just for the record.
