I see the anti-Abortion folks are on the move again.

Have you considered that the manner in which the fetus is conceived determines its right to survive?
"This legislation is really about whether the role of America's government is to continue to fund a practice that takes the lives of over one million little Americans every year," said Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee overseeing the bill to make the Hyde amendment permanent at a hearing today.
But going after the tax code could cause all kinds of confusion, testified George Washington University law professor Sara Rosenbaum. For example, she said, the IRS would have to make technical decisions about what types of abortions can and can't be covered so it can decide what kind of insurance is eligible for tax deductions and credits.
"We're going to need the Internal Revenue Service to define a rape; potentially a forcible rape, incest; potentially incest involving minors; as opposed to incest not involving minors; physical conditions endangering life, and physical conditions that don't endanger life," she said.
If abortion is wrong does it matter how the fetus was conceived? Is the fetus any less human if it was conceived as a result of incest or rape, forcible or not? Do you think pro-lifers know why they are against abortion. It appears pro-life people don't want abortions to be done unless they deem it necessary.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. It is believed to cause cervical cancer. Some Christian Conservatives in our government have resisted a vaccination program on the grounds that HPV is a valuable impediment to premarital sex. They want to preserve cervical cancer as an incentive toward abstinence, even if it means sacrificing the lives of thousands of women each year.
When we discuss Pro-Life we should understand what life we are pro and if we want the IRS legislating morality.
