Nothing that I can tell. She believes in something, and her beliefs are consistent and rational. That's more than I can say about a lot of people, even if I don't agree with her particular beliefs on the subject.
It's really hard being pro-life while being asked about abortions in extreme cases. If you say yes it's ok than you are inundated with other cases like rape, like age 15 vs 13, or what trimester is acceptable, is partial birth abortion acceptable if it's an incest case....on and on. The fact is cases of rape and incest pale in comparison to the number of abortions performed just because it's inconvenient for the mother to carry the baby for 9 months.
I am pro-life and probably like Angle, I think there are usually other options.
If you're looking for information on Angle to form an opinion, well, poke around on google.
She's a crazy lady. When asked about her opinions that are listed on her own website she blames Harry Reid for putting words in her mouth. She wants to eliminate virtually every federal agency, privatize social security, end medicare completely, etc.
If the fetus is a human life worth protecting, then logically I don't see why the circumstances of rape or incest should change that.
With all do respect to my 'pro-life' friends,...
I don't know about with all cases of incest,... But I certainly do see a justification for abortions in cases where a woman is raped.
I applaud her and find nothing wrong with her. Babies conceived via rape and incest are just as precious and just as human as those who were planned or are wanted.

No, rape victims don't have the right to murder life due to its conception. I never said that rape victims are expendable and subhuman females, I just don't believe they have the right to murder an unborn child conceived through rape or incest.And rape victims are just as expendable and subhuman as females who aren't raped.

Let me see if I understand this right. You have no problem applying self defense argument for a fetus conceived by rape even though the fetus was not the perpetrator and self defense applies only when an act of aggression that can result is serious injury or death, is in progress and only against the assailant?I see the possibility of justification. The woman in this case had absolutely no say in the matter and the psychological damage resulting from carrying the resultant pregnancy to term could be traumatic. Of course, the child in question is not in any way responsible for the circumstances of his/her conception, but the self defense criteria do seem to logically apply here.
To whom are they just as precious?I applaud her and find nothing wrong with her. Babies conceived via rape and incest are just as precious and just as human as those who were planned or are wanted.

What line of reasoning brought this conclusion?
To whom are they just as precious?
You have no clue of their existence, how can anything be valuable to you or anyone if you are not aware of its existence?To the great many of us that value human life. Me, for one.
