The kerfuffle over the imminent discarding of Roe v Wade has brought increasing attention to the states that have imposed, or want to impose a firm 15-week limit on early-stage abortions, which coincides roughly with the "fetal heart beat" standard.
Lefties have a collective case of The Vapors because some or all of these measures don't have an exclusion for rape and/or incest. (More on this later).
So let's look at reality for a moment. Imagine a woman is raped and as luck would have it, she is impregnated. So statistically speaking, she would be in the middle of her menstrual cycle, and two weeks later...no period. Then four weeks after that...no period. Then four weeks after that...no period.
Do ya think she might have an inkling that she is preggles? Jesus fuck, how stupid will we suppose she is?
Another four weeks go by...no period. At this point she is fourteen weeks post rape. She has missed FOUR menstrual periods. And STILL after the passage of all that time, she can get an abortion in the States in question, with no problems.
FOLKS, the "rape&incest" thing is a non-issue. The woman in question has had figurative eons to consider her condition and what to do about it. There is no question that this victim has had EVERY OPPORTUNITY IN THE WORLD to get an abortion, and Planned Parenthood is probably beating down her door, offering to do it for free.
This is a phony-made-up issue.
Now to incest. If the impregnated female is younger than the applicable age of consent in her home State, then she has been raped, by definition. If the woman is beyond the age of consent and has NOT consented to the act of intercourse then she has been raped. If she is over the age of consent and engaged in intercourse with a family member voluntarily, then she should have no special treatment under the applicable abortion law. She gets fifteen weeks to decide, just like everybody else. Not every incestuous impregnation is a rape.
So in discussing this, it is unnecessary to mention "incest." It is just a matter of how to treat a woman who has been raped, either statutorily, or otherwise. Rape. That's it.
