Texas Republicans in tight races open to rape and incest exceptions to abortions

Summary by Ground News
Some Republican candidates in competitive down-ballot races are talking about adding rape and incest exceptions to Texas’ near-total abortion ban. But the man who signed the ban into law — Gov. Greg Abbott — has repeatedly declined to say if he supports them. In some battleground state legislative races, Republicans have said they are open to revising the ban to include the exceptions — and even voiced confidence that the Legislature will do so when it reconvenes in January. That has drawn deep skepticism from their Democratic opponents, who are mounting campaigns centered on abortion rights.
