Roe v. Wade
On “Meet the Press” this past weekend, for example, NBC News’ Chuck Todd asked Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson what would happen if a 13-year-old in his home state were impregnated after getting raped by a relative. “Are you comfortable with that?” the host asked.. “But that’s not the debate today in Arkansas. It might be in the future. But for now, the law triggered with only one exception.”
The Republican legislator spoke to reporters a week ago today, after the Supreme Court’s ruling, and said the state’s new abortion ban “does not include an exception for incest.” Gunn added, “I believe life begins at conception. Every life is valuable. And those are my personal beliefs.”
