    “1-year-old could get an abortion under this.”

    “Odd take, but okay Senator, how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion? What age should a child victim have to look forward to, under your version of this legislation, that they know they could abort their rapists baby?”

      how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion?

      just to add: these are the same thing. A minor whose the victim of incest was also raped.
