"I am pro-life and believe that abortion should be limited to only instances of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother." Mitt Romney
The logical inconsistency of Romney's position is so evident that one has reason to question if he really gets it, when it comes to the horror of abortion and the argument behind the pro-life cause, i.e., the inescapable fact that every abortion results in an innocent life being snuffed out, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy. Leaving a legal door ajar to permit the killing of unborn children through exceptions for rape, incest, etc., is wrong. I like Romney, but statements like this, and his odd decision not to sign onto the Susan B. Anthony Pledge, are not going to help him convince the pro-life cause.
There are also doctors, like Ron Paul for instance, who argue strenuously that abortion is never really necessary to save a mother's life.
