    It seems more honest than touting exceptions as some sort of compromise. Have you ever thought of what a rape exception (or other exceptions) looks like in practice? They just don’t happen. How many abortion providers are willing to test the law? How many pregnant people are able to get a police report necessary to be exempted? How many abortion providers are even practicing in states with rape exceptions to their otherwise strict abortion laws?

    Arguing about what exceptions should or should not be on the books is a distraction. It’s only service is to placate the general public into accepting barbaric abortion bans.

      It’s also the most logically consistent. I respect these shitstains infinitely more then Republican politicians who support exceptions.

      Respect is doing a lot of work there, but really it comes to down to fact that at least they ACTUALLY believe abortion is murder.

      All those other GOP politicians who support exceptions are just groveling maggots.

      What? You believe it’s okay to murder babies in certain circumstances? Get fucked.

      If you’re going to destroy the lives of countless women, at least do it because you have an actual deeply held conviction, and not simply that you want to win a primary.
