An emergency C Section has suddenly become non existent and abortion is the only option when a woman’s life is in danger. If this woman was really sent home to die then this should be a huge malpractice lawsuit against the doctor that did that. Instead, it’s all Ted Cruz’s fault.

What's the stat again? Iirc it's something like 96% of abortions are out of "convenience", and the remaining 4% is rape, incest, threat to mothers life.
They only focus on the 4% as an emotional plea but they know it's to keep the 96%.
And even in those 4% of cases, why would you execute the child for the sins of the father?
I don't know about you or anyone else here, but if my daughter ended up pregnant due to a rape, I'd be doing everything in my power to abort the pregnancy if that would be her choice. No woman should be forced to carry a fetus to term in the event of a rape or incest. The mental and emotional strain and life long damages to her mental stability are too great.
That being said, I DO NOT support abortions out of convenience or a warped sense of "birth control."
Then you would have both a rape and a murder.
Punish the rapist, not the innocent child. Adoption is a great option so you don't have to raise the child. But they deserve life.
It's 99%. The common exceptions: 1) rape/incest and 2) ethical preservation of the mother's life account for a combined less than 1% of the total figure. That's true whether it's the CDC's 62 million since 1972 or Guttmacher's 90 million figure.
These are ultra-rare exceptions. Rape isn't terribly common. It's even less common to result in a pregnancy, and the situations in which a young, pregnant mother has her life imperiled are even rarer.
As you said, the Democrats here are trying to argue the rare exception justifies the rule.
And most what they call "abortion bans" still allow those that fall under that 4%.
