Am I the only one who's getting tired of hearing liberals use the phrase "...even in cases of rape and incest" when they talk about Sarah Palin's extreme opposition to abortion?
No doubt about it, the argument is everywhere: being opposed to abortion is right-wing, but being opposed to abortion even in cases of rape and incest is supposed to be even further out there. I've heard it incessantly ever since Sarah Palin famously answered that she'd force her daughter to carry to term even if she was raped. That there was no exception for rape and incest was one of the reasons the South Dakota ballot initiative in 2006 to ban abortion failed. And Googling the phrase "even in cases of rape and incest" turns up 43,100 results in 0.30 seconds, and that doesn't count the many other ways there are to express that sentiment.

Umm, its the 'even' that makes it the extreme view in this case.
