Do you mean women might have to (gasp) show an interest in prosecuting the sumbitches who raped them by reporting their crimes, in order to be eligible for the exemption?
Oh, the horrors! Women would actually have to report the rape, before they waltzed into the clinic to claim rape to get the exemption. The poor dears.
(Flame away, people, if you don’t like the snark.)
See what Roe vs Wade has done. Everything was fine and dandy (Well, it wasn’t fine and dandy, but from a political perspective it was), with the states regulating abortion until the Supremes pulled some right to privacy out of their collective asses. They’re going to do the same thing with homo marriage too.
The fact of the murder of innocents not withstanding...how many weeks after a rape does one need ?
If there is no verification, then everyone who wants an abortion will simply claim they were raped (well, if they have two brain cells to rub together).
Without Helms, it’s logical that NC would fall all over for Ellmers.
