"Senator, how gullible do you really feel Florida voters are," Demings responded. "You have been apparent that you support no exceptions, even together with rape and incest. Now as a police detective who investigated circumstances of rape and incest, no, senator, I do not believe it really is alright for a ten-yr-aged lady to be raped and have to have the seed of her rapist. No, I never feel it truly is all right for you to get to make decisions for gals and women as a senator. I believe those decisions are produced amongst the woman, her family, her medical professional, and her faith."
