Don't 99.99% of those against abortion make exceptions? I only know of one group/organization that has no exceptions.

The exceptions should at least attempt at making sense. For example, if ones life is in danger, that would be an argument which most

would agree makes sense. These exceptions do not. Those who keep calling abortion murder, should not allow murder because the life was conceived by rape. THAT IS NONSENSICAL. Unless it is an argument based on psychological effects, in which case psychological effects should be recognized as an exception.
Keep in mind we are questioning republicans here, so you can even agree

Does it make sense to choose the mother over the child? I am not so sure.

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy no matter where it comes from.

I would say yes. (Unless you are trying to corner me into calling RYE that, which would be inappropriate for me to do, but has already been done by those with standing.)

Why is that a separate category from rape?

Maybe because they are different? Two 30-year-old siblings have sex, is that rape?

No. But what is the logic behind an exception for such a case?

DeSantis is in a competition with Trump who can be meaner and crueler.

When there is an attack and it fails you strengthen your defensives to make sure any other attacks also fail.

What are we going to do with all these fish out of water? I thought it was just on the forum.
