Rape and Incest exceptions for abortion:
legal loopholes abortionists will use to create a new Roe

At this point there are NO considerations for legislation in this country that would prosecute the mother having an abortion.

Only the abortionists would be criminally liable.

Some people scream that it would be "EVIL" or worse to force the mother to carry a baby conceived in rape or incest.

Yet studies prove that abortion is the worst option.

Rape and incest were two of the main cases cited in the 60’s to push for LIBERALIZING OF LAWS against abortion. Those two straw men were responsible in great part for Roe and the abortion on demand holocaust.

The American Law Institute (ALI) proposed, in its 1959 model criminal code for all the states, a "reform" abortion law. The model bill, approved by ALI in 1962, declared that abortion should be permitted for the physical or mental health of the mother, for fetal abnormality, and for rape or incest.

While leaders of the American legal community were promoting radical changes in state abortion law, these cases generated sympathetic press coverage of the notion of "justifiable abortion."

Any legislation that allows abortion in cases of rape and incest could actually be worse than Roe v Wade because it would codify into law a massive loophole which pro-aborts would quickly attempt to widen with other health exceptions.

We would quickly be right back where we are today, but worse, by our own hands.

Much worse.

Instead of nine judges, We The People through our representatives would become like ancient Romans in the coliseum.…
Thumbs up for certain innocent ones—you’re safe and protected under law.
Thumbs down for other certain innocent ones—you may be lawfully killed at will.

Not the equal protection under the Constitution. The subjective and prejudicial protection We The People deem right and good.

We would be putting ourselves above the law—effectively and by legislative fiat declaring ourselves above God, deciding which innocent ones live and which innocent ones die.

Then can we all at least fight for the death penalty for the rapist?
