    Right, it's all the fault of men. /sarcasm

    But in the real world proving a rape isn’t all that easy to do and thereby some woman simply are unwilling to suffer through the consequences and self-inflicted shame of that scenario. Would you call that scenario a woman’s ”irresponsibility” having never experienced it yourself yet taking the unexperienced authority upon yourself to determining a woman’s individual responsibility? At what point do you determine individual responsibility and by what authority do you determine morality for others?

    Just because you get attacked doesn't mean you aren't responsible for seeking help from the police as well as medical attention.

    “Reasonable” people? I know of several so-called “conservatives” that would disagree with you here. How do so-called conservatives determine exactly when the fetus is and isn’t viable, able to experience pain or thinking? To my recollection those issues are highly controversial and arguable.

    And again I have to ask, why the fetus is “personally responsible” for conception and rewarded by so-called conservatives with a death sentence determined purely by so-called conservative opinion only.

    Now if a woman gets raped and takes the child to 6 months and then wants an abortion my stance is that abortion would be murder. Again, this goes back to personal responsibility in that the woman should have done something about it long previous.
    In other words the ”victim” of a crime should be punished in so-called “conservative” opinion, right?

    Must be nice to not be a female yet have such self-anointed moral authoritarian opinions over women’s bodies with the knowledge that you’ll never experience what it’s like to live in a woman’s body, huh?

    Oh! That’s right so-called conservatives always make immediate, rational and rightful decisions, never-ever commit a sin and just like leftist they know how to run everybody else’s life, huh?

    Personal responsibility means being responsible for your self.

    Then why would you insist on demanding they seek help from police or medical care? Maybe they don't need medical care and/or feel reporting to the police would be too painful.

    You are simply trying to twist personal responsibility into a means of forcing people to do what you believe is proper. You are nothing but another statist control freak.

    But you still haven’t explained why the unborn fetus is subjected to ”personal responsibility” with a death sentence simply by the inexperienced moral whims of so-called, (most usually male), conservatives who make exception for rape and incest.

    The part that amazes me the most is those so-called conservatives have no problem condoning and promoting the killing off of unborn babies and their mothers and others including their own brave youth in undeclared, unconstitutional wars. There’s NO consistency in their ”sanctity of life” gibbering in wars or abortions.

    Just exactly what is a "conservative?" Does anybody really know?

    My definition of conservatism is classical. I think true conservatism is promoting the "conserving" of the strict construction of our Constitution, especially the Bill Of Rights. The only true conservatives I know of are the libertarians.
