I see that over the weekend John McCain had the fortitude to tell an audience of evangelical Christians at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church that he (McCain) thinks that the human rights of the unborn should begin at the moment of conception. I presume then that he would permit no exceptions to a comprehensive prohibition of all abortions. A rape victim, for example, must not be allowed to abort the fetus. That would amount to killing a person who was guilty only of having a criminal for a father.
I like the thought experiment featuring the culture-of-life spouting Republican who happens to be at a fertility clinic when a fire breaks out. He can save a thousand frozen embryos or a 3-year-old. What to do? Only a "values voter" doesn't know for sure.
