Abortion Ban - Your vote

[Torie]

I cannot support a blanket ban. There needs to be exceptions for the physical health of the mother where there is a material medical risk of serious injury, and of course death, and for deformed fetuses, for starters. With appropriate exceptions, I could support such a ban if carefully drafted, and where the punishment lies with the doctor or abortion performer, rather than the mother.

Indeed these exceptions are necessary to make any such law at least arguably Constitutional, under the O'Conner drafted SCOTUS undue burden on the woman standard.
