Leroy, imagine that your daughter (I have no idea if you have any children) is out at a party one night. Through no fault of her own, her drink is spiked and she ends up getting raped by an offender who fails to use a condom and she ends up pregnant. Lets assume you live in the U.S. state of Texas in which there is a blanket ban on abortion - no exceptions.

Your daughter is not legally permitted to abort the pregnancy and she must take the pregnancy to full term. Now imagine she is 15 years old - not 18 or 21 or 25. Do you still support this blanket ban on abortion? What if it was discovered during a regular pregnancy scan that the baby was diagnosed with trisomy 18, a genetic disorder that results in the unborn baby developing horrific physical defects that make it very unlikely it will survive to full term and that without an abortion, this unborn baby threatens the life of the pregnant girl - your daughter. Do you still support this blanket ban on abortion?

This isn't theoretical - it's happening in states across the United States right now.
