Most of us have seen the video of Indiana State Rep. Eric Turner (R) expressing his “concerns” with the rape exception for HB 1210, which would make most abortions illegal after 20 weeks. He stated,This is the video linked above. Listen to Rep. Turner, and then stay tuned for Rep. Linda Lawson (D). Get the kleenex, she's a bit emotional. "Women don't make this up!"
I just want you to think about this, in my view, giant loophole that could be created where someone who could — now I want to be careful, I don’t want to disparage in any way someone who has gone through the experience of a rape or incest — but someone who is desirous of an abortion could simply say that they’ve been raped or there’s incest.
Would women lie about being raped to secure an abortion? The answer is a resounding YES. Prolife knew this all along. Now prochoicer 'Not Guilty', the author of the Abortion Gang post, freely admits that yes, women will lie to have an abortion.
Somehow you’ve gotten to 20 weeks and abortion is only legal in 2 circumstances: rape or incest. Now you have a few choices: 1) carry to term, 2) self-abort and risk your life, 3) say you were raped. Option 3 gets you what you need without risking your life. Damn right you are going to do whatever you need to do to get that abortion; damn right you will say you’ve been raped.It's obvious women will lie to secure an abortion if they want one. Because of that fact, we must make sure there is NO exception for rape or incest written into abortion legislation.
