That combo will find an exception every time. Where do you think "partial birth" abortions come from? They occur in the last tri-mester as a result of an exception to the norm.
I am not sure that it would be any better if judicial approval was required. The same people would just shop for a pro-choice judge that would rubber-stamp the exception... even in conservative states like Louisiana. It happens all the time here already, particularly when a juvenile is involved. They go to juvenile court judges, without the requirement of parental notification and out of the public eye, in the bigger cities with more liberal judges and where the abortion provider resides. Judicial approval almost always happens.
In my opinion, anyone stating that they are pro-life but support abortion exceptions is naive as to how the system operates.
Again, we aren't talking about getting approval from your local conservative judge. The approval is sought where the providers operate. In the case of Louisiana, think Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Yes let's put another perverted molester up for the Dem bid.
