re: I don't understand some states abortion laws not having an exception for rape and incest

Abortion cannot be performed without the political chaos. And that's the fault of the pro-abortionists. Forget individuals with false rape accusations. You don't think leftist abortion orgs will abuse that on a massive systemic scale? They will encourage it blatantly and proudly flood the system. That will be their foot in the door to stay present and keep fighting tooth and nail politically and litigiously until abortion on demand is de facto restored again. And that far outweighs the relatively few legitimate rape/incest. If it's sad for those few in those states, they can blame the leftist abortion demon apparatus. Hopefully the legislatures continue to understand what they are up against, and unlike OP don't naively think laws just operate perfectly in a vacuum
