Subject: Idiot Politician (R, MO) talks about "Legitimate rape"
I don't understand how anyone can defend this guy.
Do you really want someone telling your wife/girlfriend she can't abort the seed planted there by some fuckhead who raped her? Because you both really want to raise that child, the child of the rapist.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone who was raped, or their significant other for feths sake.
But whatever, this guy is slime, and will hopefully be completely ostracized from politics so we never have to hear, at least, his diarrhea of the mouth ever again.
I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

Subject: Idiot Politician (R, MO) talks about "Legitimate rape"
It's kinda sad how people are ACTUALLY defending this guy at all. Do you not know how much trauma (of all kinds) A rape causes? I mean the consequences aren't just felt by the person who is raped, but by friends, family, and if said person becomes pregnant, and carries the child to term, there are all kinds of problems that child will face, one of the worst of which could be the parent/child relationship, because chances are, no matter how much the parent loves the child, it is a constant reminder of possibly the worst day in that person's life.
Also, not your vagina, shouldn't be your choice, or anyone else's, on whether or not someone gets an abortion. End of story.

Rep. Steve King, one of the most staunchly conservative members of the House, was one of the few Republicans who did not strongly condemn Rep. Todd Akin Monday for his remarks regarding pregnancy and rape. King also signaled why — he might agree with parts of Akin’s assertion.
King told an Iowa reporter he’s never heard of a child getting pregnant from statutory rape or incest.
“Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way,” King told KMEG-TV Monday, “and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”
Dear conservatives: every time you let the gag fall out of one of these trogolodytes mouths, you make it that much harder for the less insane of you to claim there isn't really a GOP war on women.

Contacted by TPM, King’s office said that King didn’t mean he had never heard of pregnancy resulting from statutory rape or incest but that he had no direct, personal knowledge of such instances. “What he was saying was, he personally does not know a girl who was raped,” Brittany Lesser, a spokesperson for King said. “He never says, ‘I’ve never heard of that.’ There’s a fine line between ‘I’ve never heard of that’ and ‘I don’t know personally anybody who’s been raped. There’s a difference. There is a difference.”
I would wager that he almost certainly knows a girl who was at least molested, if not raped. Just betting on statistics here.

The politician was an idiot...but abortion in any form is the greatest crime in Human history.
I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

A five year, seven month old girl was impregnated, likely by family members.
At least two more have been impregnated at six years, ten more at eight, and almost thirty at nine. And that's just the ones that are publicly known. Most of these pregnancies were the result of incest.

The Nazi Holocaust. The Rape of Nanking. The Inquisition and various witch hunts. The countless tales of genocide in Africa. The gassing of Kurds in Iraq. The various terrorist attacks. The various mass shootings. The various cult mass suicides. Dresden, Nagazaki, Hiroshima. The deployment of landmines in populated areas. The organized and law-endorsed killing of homosexuals in African states.
Even if you consider abortion to be killing, all of these are worse. Shall I go on and keep listing more?

Really because every time I hear the phrase "war on women" I'm turned to the liberal cause that champions women. Then I realize that female Democratic staffers make between 5 and 30% less than their male counterparts. Especially if they work for Minority leader Pelosi. Then I realize that the predictable and dishonest rhetoric of the war on women is just that: predictable and dishonest. So for every troglodyte that says he/she is open for discussion, I hope there is a thoughtful and evolved liberal spouting support for women while paying them unequally and attempting to break the healthcare system by empowering insurance eventually raising the cost and lowering the quality of care provided. Care women rely a great deal more on than men, but at least they'll have abortions.

It's more like 13.3 Million or more according to CBS.il but your point was made.

I would have thought just killing a living human person would be a greater crime than aborting a zygote. But the pro-life lobby are very keen on hyperbole.

The gak the Japanese did is every bit as evil as what the Nazis did. People should remember that.

What book starts like that?
While I'm quite sure no book starts with that verbatim, there's at least one, possibly more Creationist/Intelligent Design based textbooks out there. "Of Pandas and People" specifically springs to mind. To put things things less abrasively, maybe he should consider reading something about biology, with the caveat that the book should be written based on actual accepted scientific evidence.

The politicians are dishonest; they're politicians.
But I already gave NUMEROUS examples of Republicans attacking women.

Hey, do you know where the word "hysteria" comes from?
That's trick question, right? It's clearly marked in the "Extra Emotions" area of the Lady Parts Diagram.....duh.
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do
