> No, you show me where the legislation allows for a woman to have an abortion after she has been raped and becomes pregnant.

‘Sec. 308. Treatment of abortions related to rape, incest, or preserving the life of the mother
‘The limitations established in sections 301, 302, and 303 shall not apply to an abortion--

‘(1) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or

‘(2) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

Uh............this is not the right legislation. This was a bill that was sponsored by Rep C. Smith of NJ and did pass the House:

To prohibit taxpayer funded abortions and to provide for conscience protections, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Christopher “Chris” Smith [R-NJ4]

Status: Passed House

I am going to assume this was an oversight on your part and not an intentional attempt to mislead. Meanwhile my original position still stands............that Akins AND Ryan tried to establish the term of forcible rape in their legislation. Its clear that Ryan thinks much like Akins on this subject and scarily, Bambi could be one heart beat away from the presidency.
