I can accept it in those cases or if the mother's life is in danger. But I believe that it should have to be proven that those are the reasons.

I can't imagine there ever being "proceedings" to see if a baby was caused by rape or not.

I was very anti-abortion growing up, I couldn't fathom the idea of it. But as I got older I realized at the very least that it was something that wasn't going away, so I've had to come to peace with it. I agree with the others who say that it should not be an easy or short process, with professional counseling and heavily mandated health standards.

I think if you think it is murder you ought not allow it in cases of rape and incest.

To be consistent, I agree. I can live with my inconsistency.

Are you LDS?

Is this to suggest that you can't be "good" LDS and be pro choice? I guess I have heard that sentiment from time to time but find it to be preposterous, of course.

I'm sure there have been abortion discussions here, but I haven't been privy to any of them.

They're talking about Utah Dan being a Ute fan.

This is correct; it was a TIC comment. Or mostly TIC. Or not. Just Kidding.

Well, we Ute fans can still play our "The Prophet is a Ute" card. As long as it's applicable, why not, ya know?
