Because the essence of conservatism is "personal responsibility". The mother is responsible to the child if she has sex willingly, but not if it forced on her.
The mother AND FATHER are responsible for the child if the sex was willing.

its called compromise......we're willing to let you kill 1% of the unborn children you currently kill in exchange for letting the other 99% live.....
True that. But GovCo has taken the place of the father in much of society, another failure of liberal policy.The mother AND FATHER are responsible for the child if the sex was willing.

this part I always had a problem with. If the fetus doesn't have legal personhood, then it shouldn't be a double homicide.
Right, it's all the fault of men. /sarcasmAnd too many men are happy to let the govt. take their place. It's a better deal for them if the woman gets welfare rather than child support.

Meanwhile you women vote Democrat, the party of no personal responsibility.
Nice straw man.......because we obviously would rather let children go hungry and big business pollute.
Nice straw man...
Except that is true, based on their policies....as is your remark about democrats being the party of no personal responsibility.
This scenario, first of all, is designed to be a political weapon against the right-to-life stance. In the question of rape a responsible woman would get the police involved immediately, and she would be taken to the hospital to have evidence collected and then have a discussion with her doctor about what to do with the pregnancy. She'd probably take a morning after pill and that would be that.
Just because you get attacked doesn't mean you aren't responsible for seeking help from the police as well as medical attention.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?
we conservatives tend to be pragmatic. Yes, life begins at conception but reasonable people understand that in the first few weeks of pregnancy the fetus isn't viable, isn't thinking, isn't going to experience pain. Very few people support the hard-line stance that liberals claim is the conservative stance on this issue.
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.
“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.
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?
Just because you get attacked doesn't mean you aren't responsible for seeking help from the police as well as medical attention.
Personal responsibility means being responsible for your self.What? To whom are they responsible? The state?
Personal responsibility means being responsible for your self.

I speak for myself, not all conservatives.
Personal responsibility means being responsible for your self.
