Of course, Allen couldn’t visit South Carolina and not field tough questions on social issues. When asked about abortion, he stated, "That should be decided by the states." He seemed to think the South Dakota ban is too strict and added, "I personally would add an exemption for rape and incest." If the Nebraska ban on partial birth abortion—which will soon be before the Supreme Court—is upheld, Allen foresees the Senate passing a ban again. "We did once, and it was held up."

Red Flag. BIG RED FLAG. How is that any better than Dubya?
I think this is an issue for each state unless there is a Constitutional amendment. As far as his other comments, I would prefer to see the full context of what he said. There are a lot of people who believe that an exemption for rape and incest would help with the courts.
