In looking at the candidates' positions on abortion, I once again ran across this phrase:

"opposed to all abortion except in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger."

For those who are anti-abortion among us AND who find the above exceptions to be acceptable or desirable, could someone explain to me why, if abortion is wrong oro a sin, it is less wrong or less of a sin to abort a fetus resulting from rape or incest?

Or, alternatively, are these exceptions uniformly abhorrent to those opposed to abortion?

Thanks.

Peace.
