But as CMAC pointed out, they're not sticking to their guns if their view on abortion is based on the idea that every life is sacred. They're only sticking to their guns if they have an arbitrary absolute rule that all abortions are wrong. If their view is based on the sanctity of life, the mother's innocent life should be the equivalent of the fetus's innocent life and at best there is no reason to prefer the life of either one and it's easily argued that the mother's life is to be preferred because death is being caused by the injustice of rape.
