Alabama must be a fine place to raise a family. This is a long item, the most incredulous thing you'll ever read on the subject of rape. From GOP lawmakers no less. This can't be real....Can it? Read the link. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2019...why-rape-is-not-rape-according-to-Republicans
You realize the graphic had these words directly preceding it, right? "Below you can check out the “GOP Rape Advisory Chart” made by community member Brainwrap back in 2012."
This Brainwrap dude has gone hammer to nail characterizing the GOP's position on rape. Both amusing and informative.
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/steve-king-reelection-2020-population-rape-incest-abortion Steve King wonders if there would be any people without rape and incest.
Steve King is one of the biggest m***erf***ng morons I've ever hear of. (Figuratively. If it was technically true, he'd know something about incest.)
It's worth pointing out that, unlike other Republicans, King knows that women can get pregnant from being raped. That's right, folks. He's one of their smart ones.
It's an old point, but it bears repeating. If you believe that a fetus is a human, and therefore a woman does not have the right to abort that fetus, because that is murdering another human, then how that fetus was conceived is immaterial. It's bizarre to have a rule that says no abortions, unless the child was conceived in a way that I don't like. So I'm with King, in a way. If you are going to ban abortion, then ban it all.
The one that cinches the argument for me is that more than 75% of anti-abortionists say that women are "too easily offended." These are Trump voters we're talking about. Too easily offended? What women has ever been as sensitive as Mr. President? At that point, I could do nothing but agree with the author's thesis. That was just too ridiculous. The anti-abortion crowd is guilty as charged; sexist.
He's not offended: he's manfully outraged by the injustice constantly directed towards him by the deep state and the lying liberal elite in the fake news media. You would be outraged too if you were a real man.
Trump has unwittingly (of course, it's Trump) been useful at exposing when the right is bullshitting, as opposed to preaching something that it actually lives by.. The ratio is about 10:1, as it turns out.
I heard an interesting argument yesterday. The question was posed that if there was a fire in a fertility clinic and you could save the life of one child or the lives of 1000 fertilized embryos (but not both), which would you do? To the alleged pro lifer, the answer should be obvious.
Never mind 1000. The pro lifer should save 2 embryos rather than one out-of-womb person. Actually, one embryo, on the general theory that when given a 1v1 choice, save the younger of the two people.
Throw the child in the fire. If the child is anywhere near a fertility clinic and is not protesting it, she/he is going to become an abortionist and by killing the child you'd be saving lives.
