I realize that almost half of Americans are pro-Life, or at least when polled say they are pro-life. I am not at all convinced that as many people are pro-life as the polls suggest.

I wonder what how pro-lifers would respond to polling questions like this?

• Your eleven year old daughter is raped by a serial rapist and she became pregnant. Would you support your daughter having an abortion?

• Your wife is raped by an AID’s infected man. Her rape was a Todd Akin “legitimate” rape and she became pregnant. Would you support your wife having an abortion?

• Your wife is pregnant with a fetus that tests show will be born without a brain. Would you support your wife having an abortion?

• Your wife is in danger of losing her life if her fetus is carried to term. The doctor says unless an abortion is performed she will die. Would you support your wife having an abortion?

When faced with reality rather than political talking points I wonder how many people would actually stand by their no-exceptions anti-abortion stance?
