Too many Republican voices appear to support the belief that child victims of rape and incest should take pregnancies to term. - MaddowBlog
. But it was that root question that still deserved an answer. Either Republicans support using the government to force raped children to take pregnancies to term or they do not.
As voters head to the polls in the fall, it’s hardly unreasonable to think voters should know where candidates and officeholders stand. It was against this backdrop that a leading Republican gubernatorial candidate in Michigan weighed in on the subject. The Washington PostTudor Dixon told interviewer Charlie LeDuff on his podcast, “No BS Newshour,” that procedures needed to save the “life of the mother” should be the only exception to abortion bans.
In case this isn’t obvious, Dixon is not an obscure figure. On the contrary, recent polling suggests that she’s likely to be the Republican Party’s gubernatorial nominee in the fall. And as far as she’s concerned, if a 14-year-old Michigan girl is impregnated by a rapist, the government should force that girl to go forward with that pregnancy, regardless of her wishes.She’s not alone. On a recent episode of “Meet the Press,” 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.
