Walker says he'll sign 20-week abortion ban with or without rape, incest exemptions

The current draft of the bill, up for a joint public hearing today, does not include the exceptions, and Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, has said he was unsure if the bill would move in his house without them.
Walker earlier this year issued a letter pledging to sign a ban after 20 weeks once it ..........................

Real scary situation.
It angers me so much when idiots talk as if they know what is real.

She had a pretty severe bleed but once it was repaired she was just fine. Sure glad we didn't decide on a home birth though.
