re: Trump says leaning toward 15-week national abortion ban.

I agree that it should be left to the States, and any campaigning around abortion should be how/why it needs to be left at the States. But I have 3 questions about this:

quote:

---

leaning toward a 15-week national ban on abortion but supports exceptions for rape, incest and saving the life of the mother

---

1) Why even allow it to go into the 2nd trimester?
2) Do victims of rape & incest need more than 15 weeks to make these decisions?
3) I thought "saving the of the mother" was a clear medical term that was excluded from abortion laws anyway
