Oh, Abbott was quite disingenuous. Women who are raped often don’t even report the crime. And someone who’s been that traumatized might not deal well with a 6-week time crunch. His “tough on crime” statement was magical thinking. Oh sure, Texas will punish all rapists. Count on it.

Fine. The second statement wasn't a defense of the abortion restriction. It was a condemnation of the crime of rape. I don't support that restriction, but I'm also not a Texan.
He said Texas will "work tirelessly" to see to it that rapists are punished. Not magical, appropriately aspirational for a chief executive and politician.
