What he should have said

I don't know if you heard about this US congressman's idiotic, harmful comments about abortion following a rape. Well here is The Gospel Coalition's Trevin Wax with the much improved 'What Todd Akin Should Have Said About Abortion and Rape'. And while we're talking about the humanity of the unborn, here is a telling quote:

He [President Obama] says abortion is a “heart-wrenching decision” and we should seek to reduce it.
But why is it heart-wrenching? And why seek to reduce it? If elective abortion does not take the life of a defenseless human being, why worry about the number of abortions each year? from here
