Democrat Legislator Admits Abortion is “Killing” a Baby

A South Dakota Democrat characterized abortion as an act of “killing” during a Thursday press briefing at the state capitol in Pierre.

While speaking about exceptions for rape, Democratic state Rep. Erin Healy, from Minnehaha County, warned that a woman might face risk of prison time “for killing her… her fetus.”

She questioned whether an alleged rapist would have to be convicted in court in order for a woman not to face prosecution for her abortion.

When it comes to other exceptions, I’m assuming that we’re talking about rape and incest here, it opens up a great area for what does a rape mean? A woman should always be trusted when they say that they were raped. But how would they prove that? Does it have to be in the court of law?
