Representative Nancy Mace has been a rare GOP voice in favor of exceptions for women seeking abortions after rape or incest.
, Mace, a two-term congresswoman from a moderate South Carolina district, outlined her rare stance as an anti-abortion Republican in favor of broader exceptions for women seeking the procedure. Having spoken openly about her own sexual assaults as a teen, Mace has advocated strongly for rape and incest exceptions in abortion laws. She has also called for limits of around 12 to 15 weeks, not six weeks, asRepresentative Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, is seen.
"I think they're walking the plank," she said when asked if stricter abortion laws will doom Republicans in more moderate districts. Mace was also critical of her Republican colleagues for not pursuing other reforms that might help women who choose not to have abortions, like improvements to foster care and childcare programs.
"No woman wants to go to the doctor and make the decision that she's going to have an abortion, nobody wants that," the GOP lawmaker said."And what are we doing to ensure that she doesn't have to make that decision? What are we doing about the foster care system? What are we doing about child care? We're doing none of those things.
