Removing rape and incest exception to obtain abortion in WV

SB 608 would remove the existing exceptions that allow abortions in cases of rape or incest under West Virginia law. Currently, the law permits abortions for adults within 8 weeks and minors within 14 weeks if the pregnancy results from sexual assault or incest and specific reporting or medical treatment requirements are met. The bill eliminates these exceptions entirely, meaning abortions would no longer be permitted for rape or incest victims under the current legal framework. This change directly affects individuals who become pregnant due to rape or incest and seek abortion care in West Virginia.
