Those exceptions are concessions to political possibility, usually. The Hyde amendment allowed those two exceptions to get the amendment through, for example. I heard him say it in person from the balcony of the House in 2000, as he explained the discrepancy to a junior congressman. Hyde and most pro-lifers do not believe abortion is OK in cases of rape or incest.

“most pro-lifers do not believe abortion is OK in cases of rape or incest.”

I agree with you. I also believe that most of the nation is more in line with the exceptions if Roe is to be overturned. Sometimes it’s a good thing to take 99% of what you were seeking.
