CLEVELAND, Ohio — For the previous 50 years I’ve opposed abortion besides in instances the place the mom’s life is at risk, rape and incest.

Does anybody imagine it’s Ohio’s majority view that that shouldn’t be in a position to be handled, or in another state within the nation. A ten-year-old lady must be pressured to provide start to a rapist’s little one? I can let you know what, I don’t. I can’t consider something…far more excessive.”
