Bordered by Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, I dare say they're also likely to be taking the hard line approach. FL might be the nearest state that would assist. Definitely hundreds of miles.

That can be a concent issue if the power balance is out of wack such as between a father/child. It's also a giant boundary issue. Most people would be unable to look at a relative as a sexual being. My ex sister in law once tried to tell me something sexual about my brother and I shot her down before she could get the words out of her mouth. Even the thought of my parents having sex together freaks me out. I know they've done it three times at least...ewwww.

So is a penis enlargement. Just because it's a medical procedure doesn't mean it's medically necessary. 98.3% of the abortions performed in the US are elective convenience abortions, not medically necessary abortions.

Correct. The nearest hospital to me that treats anything more than minor injuries (simple fractures, etc.) is located in another state.

Have a good day.
No...NOT defending incest...defending privacy in the bedroom!

It explains why voters in Mississippi refused to vote yes to grant full human rights beginning at the moment of conception.

If enough horror stories come out in Mississippi and other Red States about what happens to women who can't get abortions, then I trust them that they will want to change laws in which abortion is regulated, reasonably restricted and certainly not banned or nearly so.
Most people wanted it to pass until the left lied about it in their advertising campaign against it. You know this already so why do you keep pushing false information?

GOP Gov. Defends Law Forcing Incest Victims to Carry Pregnancy to Term, Won’t Rule Out Criminalizing IUDs



https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...191443421.html
a Rolling Stone article about a CNN interview.

not to be crass, but if there's an exception for rape, does not that cover the need for not excepting incest?

And when I dig at RS, it's for things like:

"Won't rule out criminalizing IUD's" ... well, that's not in the law right now.

https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1...ion-1350469%2F

and especially this:

Quote:
making vague promises that he is “focusing every day on fixing the challenges that are before us” and talking condescendingly about “educational opportunities” and “jobs” (as if education and jobs will fix entrenched child poverty, as if child care in America is not prohibitively expensive for many working moms).
what do the special kind of idiots like Peter Wade WILL fix child poverty better than better education and higher pay? What IS poverty other than a lack of earnings? If I were to apply for "poverty benefits", what's the 1 question they're going to base it on? My income.

Many people travel for medical not everyone lives near large hospitals. They have been doing it for a long time. Is a cancer patient, heart patient who has to travel not as important….everyone’s life is important. You travel to get healthcare if it’s needed.

The only exceptions in the law are for cases of rape and when the life of the mother is in danger.


BTW, based on all the anecdotes being posted on Twitter, it seems "viability because of medical condition" of the fetus should be covered as well for ectopic pregnancies and other developmental issues where the fetus will most assuredly not survive.
