Yes, Scott Walker, Americans strongly support legal abortion for rape victims

In Thursday’s debate, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly confronted Scott Walker with a data point: “Would you really let a mother die rather than have an abortion, and with 83 percent of the American public in favor of a life exception, are you too out of the mainstream on this issue to win the general election?”

Walker didn’t challenge the statistic, but defended his stance and claimed his position is “in line with everyday America.” …

While Walker’s definition of “everyday America” isn’t exactly clear, surveys show the vast majority of Americans think abortion should be legal in the case of rape, incest or to protect the mother’s health. CONT.
