Serious question here regarding abortion
I was thinking about this yesterday.
Some states are banning abortion with no exceptions, or with exceptions for rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.
I wonder if the "rape and incest" exceptions have ever been used. I mean, what kind of "proof" would be needed in those cases? When the mother's life is in danger, there are doctors who can verify that.
If a woman says that she was raped, is her word enough? Women are already not believed when it comes to sexual assault. I can't imagine that these crazy, backward states would accept her word. And if she somehow had to "prove" she was raped, that could take forever if it had to be a court case.
Same thing with incest. Would there be a DNA test to "prove" it?
This is why there can't and shouldn't be any restrictions on abortions. The "rape and incest" exceptions may sound good, but they're actually abstractions. In real life, they would never work.
Such absolute, empty-headed, rubbish. All of it!!! "If a woman says that she was raped, is her word enough?"
A raped woman, after she/or a family member, first notifies the police soon after, can even have the semen tested for it's DNA."The "rape and incest" exceptions may sound good, but they're actually abstractions. In real life, they would never work."
Rape & incest exceptions are not "abstractions" Both acts are actual CRIMES and can be proven!!!
