“He supports abortion in cases of rape and incest.”
And probably if the Life of the mother is in jeopardy. But then so do the vast majority of pro-life Americans.

Let's get all that we agree on ASAP and argue about the rest later. I don't think that rape and incest exceptions are moral. Exception for a truly imminent objective threat to the life of the mother seems moral so long as we are not allowing abortions because a shrink says that the alternative will be intentional suicide. BUT, if rape, incest and life of mother exceptions survive, we cannot very well morally refuse to outlaw the rest. We can always argue for perfection (as we respectively understand it) later. We will have difficulty getting juries to convict abortionists for a while but that is no excuse for delay.
The perfect can be the enemy of the good. Tragic but true nonetheless.
