A Missouri Republican on Wednesday proposed constitutional amendments that would allow exceptions to the state’s near-total abortion ban in cases of rape, incest and fatal abnormalities.

Suburban St. Louis resident Jamie Corley, 36, proposed the constitutional amendments to allow those exceptions up until viability, which typically is around 24 weeks. The exception for rape would only apply if the assault is reported to a crisis hotline.

Another proposal Corley filed would allow abortions for any reason up to 12 weeks into pregnancy.

All of her proposals would shield those seeking abortions and health care providers from criminal prosecution and civil penalties.

    So, let me get this straight: The GOP wants to birth incest babies and rape victims to carry their attacker’s child?

      Considering they’d love to go back to forcing women to marry their rapists, yes.

      You forgot the part where they also want women to carry dead babies inside them until they rot and kill the women.

      But didn’t you hear? They will do their best to eliminate rape, pinky promise.

      Maybe they’re scared of demographic trends, and this is how they increase the population of white babies.

      Christianity wants that the GOP wants power, they are working together.
