CNN’s Kate Bolduan went after Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) for the remarks he made about rape while signing a restrictive voting measure into law earlier in the week.

After signing the voting bill Tuesday, Abbott was asked why the highly limiting abortion law his state recently imposed forces “a rape or incest victim to carry a pregnancy to term.”

“It provides at least six weeks for a person to be able to get an abortion,” Abbott said, defending the law. “That said, however, let’s make something very clear. Rape is a crime, and Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets.”
