Without the requirement the law would be gutless.
What are the women who want to kill their babies asking for? Do they want more or less time to file their requests. The article didn’t say.
If the woman wants to kill the baby, she has obligation to report the crime to police. How else will the offender be prosecuted?
Probably should be multiple police reports.
One, for the rape. Two, for the intent to murder. Perhaps a third, after the deed.
CBS August, 2012: Romney reverts back to pro-abortion after winning the nomination.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
Progs will work incrementally to get where they want to go.
Some on the right feel that's too unprincipled.
C’mon guys. What are you worried about? Women *NEVER* lie about rape. [/sarcasm]
Wars are won in a series of battles, battles in which there are casualties, even by the winner of any battle, and even by the final victor. The 20-week rule is an “advance” in the pro-life position. That there may be some exceptions, and with them the 20 week rule advances, is MUCH better than the 20 week rule not advancing. Once the 20 week rule is won, some warriors can continue a battle against any exceptions, and they will have a history of experience with the 20 week rule to go by as well.
