Gov. Asa Hutchinson says the state should provide exceptions for instances of rape or incest.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Arkansas' near-total abortion ban should be"revisited" to provide exceptions for instances of rape or incest should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, the state's Republican governor said Sunday.
"And what will happen as time goes on, if Roe v. Wade is reversed, these are going to become very real circumstances. I think the debate and discussion will be -- will continue and that very well could be revisited," he said, adding later:"I believe that those exceptions are going to be important ... overall to save lives because the public understands those exceptions, the importance of it. So I think that will be revisited.
The governor has been blunt about the law's goal of overhauling abortion rights. He told CNN last year:"I signed it because it is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade."
