      This is not an issue I wade into often, but criminalizing abortion even in the event of incest and rape is disgustinghttps://apnews.com/fbae135281e64818946f72cfdb199dcb …

      The state forcing a woman who has been raped to carry the child is unconscionable. Before, the rape was a tragedy, and the subsequent abortion was an additional tragedy. Now, the tragedy would just be compounded in a different and more invasive way by dint of coercive state power

      I don't often "wade into" this issue because I think it's morally fraught and complex. I'm also a non-theist and don't subscribe to the predominant Christian/Islamic view on abortion. However, using criminal law to force a rape victim to give birth is straightforwardly immoral

      I see people claiming that there is in fact an exception for rape and incest. Either every single media report is wrong, or you're wrong. AP: "Senators rejected an attempt to add an exception for rape and incest. The amendment was voted down 21-11"

          The bill is also not somehow "temporary" because it's clearly intended to force a Supreme Court case. The only way it can be challenged up to the Supreme Court is if the bill is enacted.

          Adding an amendment that you claim does a common sense thing but is actually a poison pill so that your opponents look bad when they overrule you is not an uncommon legislative gamesmanship technique. No idea if that's what happened here but it would square the stories.

          My understanding is that Alabama is the only exception, however they explain it is temporary and also include vague language, designed to protect any woman at health risk.

          Well to be fair, hasn’t there been a time when every single media outlet was wrong?
