Bush attacks Rubio for hardline on abortion
Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush is going after rival Marco Rubio on abortion, saying his opposition to rape and incest exceptions will repel women voters.
“Politically, it’s a tough sell to tell a pro-life mother — had her daughter been raped — that she would just have to accept that as a sad fact,” Bush said, according to CNN.
“I’m pro-life. The most tragic thing in the world is for a woman to be raped, a child, a pregnancy caused by rape. I’m very pro-life, (but) I can’t go there, I can’t tell that woman you gotta carry that child,” Graham said.
“I’m proudly pro-life, and I won’t apologize for being pro-life. I understand it’s a difficult issue. When you find yourself in a crisis pregnancy, that’s a very difficult situation,” he said.
