Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Sunday suggested that women who become pregnant through rape or incest should not have the right to abortions. In an interview on Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd noted that Cotton's state of Arkansas and several others are passing draconian restrictions that effectively outlaw abortions in many cases. "When do you think the fetus has constitutional rights?" Todd asked. Cotton declined to directly answer the question although he is on record voting for a bill that would force judges to treat fetuses like people. "When does a fetus have constitutional rights in your mind?" Todd asked again. "Chuck, what I want to find in this debate is area where we can agree on what we should do if a civil society," Cotton replied.
