I can understand in cases of incest (rare) or rape (possibly) and perhaps if there is a clear critical medical danger to the woman or the baby.

I am very much against it for the many young women that use it as a form of birth control.  That's what the far left advocate for when they argue that a fetus is not a human, even in late-term.

Again, this issue belongs to the states and not the federal government.

I don't understand the exception you would make for rape or incest.  In a case like that, the mother's life is not in danger.  So what about the baby?  Just because a baby results from rape, or incest, is it not still a child?  If you think an unborn baby has rights and should be protected, why would you not protect those babies?  They didn't commit a crime.  They're innocent.

I agree but politics is the art of the possible.

Too many people have the "babies are God's punishment to sluts" mindset and they want to make sure that those who had no choice in the matter aren't "punished" with a baby.

These people are inclined to my side and I need their votes if we are ever going to be able to use threats of government punishment to reduce abortion.

No, it's not. That's the majority, low information voter for you from the left being manipulated at their college campus.

The demograph you're bringing up? They're the exception, exemption to the rule. Often times, willing to bet they have no issues medically getting cleared for it.

Something like 9 out of 10 intentional abortions are for non-medical reasons. But that 1 in 10 is still a really high number of occurrences and we should have a better answer for how to deal with them.
