Was it really a surprise that GOP women bolted over a provision to mandate that women produce a police report of rape before obtaining an abortion? That would have been a bonanza for the Dems in 2016 House/Senate races.
The rape exception does nothing to protect the baby. In fact it executes the child for the sins of the father.
Abortion exception for rape is based on the identical premise of a woman’s right to continue a pregnancy as her personal prerogative. Under this rubric, merely the filing of a charge of rape even without identifying the perpetrator is sufficient grounds to permit the woman to end the life of the baby growing inside her. This is no more grounds than a bad hair day.
Let the party of infanticide make whatever they wish of it. Murder is murder and the murder of the most innocent and dependent among us is execrable, the vilest of the vile, whatever the justification.
These same GOPe women are declaring to the nation that a woman cannot decide whether or not she was raped for five (5) months so go ahead and kill that baby that she chose not to do for the previous four (4) months!
