'Are you saying that you will not sign an exception for rape and incest?' Chris Wallace asked the Republican governor.

to take effect in a 5-to-4 decision. The legislation effectively bans all abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected—generally around six weeks. Critics have repeatedly explained that most women are not even aware they are pregnant at that point in the pregnancy., pointing out that the law does not even offer any exceptions in cases of rape or incest. The GOP governor has previously defended the law and argued that Texas will"eliminate" rape going forward.

"In 2019, which is the last year that we have numbers for, almost 15,000 cases of rape were reported in your state of Texas," Wallace said."And almost everyone says that's a severe undercount. There are a lot more cases that just aren't reported." "Is it reasonable to say to somebody who is the victim of rape and might not understand that they are pregnant until six weeks, 'Well, don't worry about it because we're going to eliminate rape as a problem in the state of Texas?'" theIn this screenshot, Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace confronts Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, over his state's controversial anti-abortion law on September 26.

Wallace then interjected, again reiterating that"there were more than 15,000 rapes in 2019 when you were governor." He asked Abbott if he would be willing to sign legislation to amend the current ban to carve out exceptions for rape and incest. Texas state Representative Lyle Larson, a Republican, has put forward a bill that would make such exceptions, but it's not expected to pass in the conservative legislature.

GOLLY GEE WHIZ THANKS

It’s life. No exception.

A woman’s right to choose should be first and foremost! No one should have anything to say over what a woman chooses. No man. No woman. Uphold RoeVWade FreedomofChoice

'Uh, deflect, uh, deflect, blah, blah...' Worst governor ever.

Funny how this and the video of the border patrol going after the Hatians and people blame Biden. Abbot just said he would hire those border patrol agents. Something seriously wrong his announcement yet nothingbut crickets. hypocrits

Is Abbott the leader of the texas taliban? Does he believe if a woman is raped its her fault? Whats next stoning pregnant women in the streets because they want an abortion?

Didn't find out I was pregnant until 11 weeks after a rape. I would probably not be here if I couldn't abort from such an act. You must think of the victim. Also, I was adopted for whatever reasons. These both take a mental toll.

When Texas secedes from the union it will be a lot like Saudi Arabia, wealthy and barbaric.

Soon women in Republican controlled States will escape just like the Afghan woman for their freedom.

So what Greg Abbott has stated, he has had the power to stop all rape in Texas but until now has chosen not to do so? Thank you Chris Wallace for not being a typical Fox mouthpiece for Trump and pointing this out.

ALL FOX NEWS 'PERSONALITIES' ARE VACCINATED. The one everyone calls 'Judge' is a tax criminal, Jesse Watters is a pervert who should've been fired for making lewd jokes about women giving BJs and the hypocrite shouldn't be criticizing Chris Cuomo or anyone for that matter!

Afganistán is closer than you think.

Chris Hayes takes apart the racist right-wing immigration theory“Many people have been shocked by how audaciously racist this argument is — and it is indeed,” chrislhayes says on right-wing anti-migrant rhetoric. “But it is also worth actually confronting it because it is not just racist, it is also stupid.” chrislhayes What about how racist the Biden/Harris administration? The democrat party had both the KKK and BLM gathering votes for them this last election. Shows what party the real racism lies in. chrislhayes Interesting how they tacitly realize being a minority is no fun chrislhayes Illegal aliens should abide by our laws and enter legally. Pretty simple concept except the left sees the crisis as a way to import more Democrat voters.
