discussion...so I'll try to keep your thoughts in mind as well...
First off, rape and incest situations are thankfully rare, but as this USA Today article explains, they are fundamental to any progress on the issue...

From that article...
--------------------------
Nearly 80% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in the first trimester in cases of rape or incest, according to Gallup.
A coalition of anti-abortion groups led by Students for Life of America released a letter this week urging GOP leadership to reconsider their position on exceptions. Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life, said she would prefer to see abortion laws passed without exceptions, though they aren't a dealbreaker.
"I personally have lobbied on behalf of legislation which includes exceptions because if we can work with people on the other side to ban 98% of abortions we'll take it. But when asked what we support, we tell them the truth, even though that's difficult to hear and gets you called nasty names on Twitter for a week," Hawkins said. "We know the circumstances of your conception don't change the fundamentals of what is created — a unique, distinct human being that has a right to life just like you or I."

If you can accept Ms. Hawkins' deal, we can talk about the "98%"...what say you?
As for ELP and Curly's concern about 'late term' abortions, see the KFF paper I've posted a couple of times already...only 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks, and nearly all of them are for medical reasons. that a majority of Americans would acknowledge were justifiable.
Then, to Jake's comment about 'practicality', it deserves a good deal more discussion, because it touches on virtually "All" abortions...if no one else brings this up for further discussion...I will.
