Is there any form of widely-dispersed information at this point that is not a lie?

These days, most news is fake news.

Completing the poll reminded me of how complex this topic is, certainly too complex to be represented as soundbites and emotionally satisfying ideological slogans.

I lingered a while on answering when it should be permitted. I'd certainly support it when the mother's life is at serious risk. In the case of rape I really don't know. On one hand, I don't know that it's right to take an innocent life, even in such circumstances. On the other, I can't imagine the torment a woman may feel having to carry to term the child of her rapist. I honestly don't know which way to go on that.

I pretty much feel the same. I lean towards allowing it in the case of rape, but it ain't the baby's fault, so I'm honestly uncertain.
