Again, do you think abortion after rape is ok?

Also, I don't get why whether your niece was previously sexually active has anything to do with it. If she was a virgin prior to the drunken interlude, would you then be ok with MAP?
What I'm saying is I don't believe in drunken mishaps. Having never been drunk, it is hard for me to say, but I don't think a person is relieved of being a moral agent when drunk. It's a choice to get drunk, and a person's volition is not so impaired by alcohol so as to strip away all moral agency.
