“When she’s the victim of rape, the victim of incest? Are we going to let a woman die? Would Rand Paul let a woman die because she’s carrying a baby or is he going to let her make that choice with her doctor?” she said during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last night.”
If a woman is raped or a victim of incest why would she wait 20+ weeks before having an abortion? Sounds to me like Schultz is not advocating a patient/doctor decision but a way to emotionally destroy women and blame it on Republicans.
I’ve found a rhetorically effective way of arguing with people who go to the extreme cases as examples of when an abortion is “needed”.
“If an exception were made for that case, would you be OK with outlawing all other cases?”
You leave them arguing that the baby can be killed at any time for any reason, stripping their “compassion” claim for supporting abortion.
