Although I will agree that the majority of abortions performed are not rape or incest victims, the pro-life cause is really hampered by idiots who make statements like this.
Their counter argument should be "a life is life, regardless of the means of conception" and not, essentially, the woman asked to be/wanted to be raped. If their logic is essentially this sexist in nature, it calls into question their cause and their true desire behind the cause.
Years ago (and I'm sure its still floating around) the pro-life side tried the approach that NOW and planned parenthood focused on African Americans, and were trying to eliminate the African American population, and therefore the African American community should unite under the pro-life banner to keep from being exterminated. That approach didn't win over anyone that I know of.
Like any group with a cause, it has normal people and nut cases. The media tend to focus in on the nut cases.
