Rape and Incest Exceptions in States with Abortion Bans

Saturday, September 21, 2024

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, there has been considerable media attention and legal scrutiny of the health and life exceptions to state abortion bans. This may emerge as an election issue as Former President Trump has stated that he supports rape exceptions to abortion bans, but the 2024 Republican party platform says states should decide their own abortion laws " with no mention of exceptions. Really? That is really what you want? All Despite broad support for legal access to abortion in cases of rape or incest, 10 of the 21 states with abortion bans or gestational limits do not have an exception for pregnancies resulting from sexual assault. Christistian conservatives....is that what you really want?
Should a young girl have to carry and deliverher step-father's baby? And yes, this actually happens. Should she be required to obtain "parental consent" here in Florida?

My grandfather hated abortion.

He accepted it needed to remain legal in three situations rape, ------, or when the mother could die.

There is no legal situation in which sex with an underage step daughter can be considered anything but rape.
