This is what I’ve been saying for 40 years. People tip their hand when they say that there are exceptions for rape and incest. what they are saying with that is that they don’t really believe that it’s a human, so it’s not really about saving babies. It’s about policing women’s bodies and controlling them. To hell with these people.
