3. What part of "no exceptions" do you not understand?

I’m 74. I was raised to believe abortion was bad, and had to learn otherwise in adulthood.

But even in the bad old days, there were exceptions. The exceptions were: rape, incest, and the life and health of the mother.

The laws that are being put in place now are like nothing we’ve ever seen before. In many of them there are no exceptions.

If you were a doctor, would you want to bet your medical license and 10 years in prison on trying to skirt that?
