It doesn’t require that at all [force a rape or incest victim to carry — Greg Abbott

HomeGreg AbbottQuote
"It doesn’t require that at all [force a rape or incest victim to carry a pregnancy to term] because obviously it provides at least six weeks for a person to be able to get an abortion, so for one it doesn’t [require] that. That said, however, let’s make something very clear. Rape is a crime and Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets"

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., slammed Abbott in an interview with CNNs Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, saying he lacks basic knowledge of biology. "Im sorry we have to break down Biology 101 on national television, but in case no one has informed him before in his life, six weeks pregnant means two weeks late for your period," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And two weeks late on your period ... can happen if youre stressed, if your diet changes or for really no reason at all. So you dont have six weeks."
