- Because the whole basis for "rape or incest" bit is that in those cases
- the woman could not choose to avoid pregnancy. When a contraceptive
- fails, the woman has obviously made an effort to avoid pregnancy, but
- was foiled by (fate/luck/G-d/hoodoo). Now answer the following question
- with only one word, yes or no: If a woman who chooses to avoid pregnancy
- gets pregnant anyway, should she be allowed to abort?
