And what many Republicans believe and won't dare to say is that they want a pregnant to be forced to carry the baby to term, no matter how it was "legitimately" or "illegitimately" conceived. Their disclaimer for abortion in cases where the life of the mother is at stake is only added so they don't look like complete savages - otherwise they'd drop that one, too.
