Hey it could be worse. She could claim that men are the primary victims of rape

And this from a woman who was almost President.
Can someone check the birth certificate for this guy? I had no idea a pile of excrement could wear a suit and talk, let alone run for office. Although considering he already had shit for brains, it would be as a Republican Congressman.
So is this a new legal defense against rape? Hey she got pregnant, so she must have really wanted it?
Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in todays warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.
Become a Republican politician and your education flies out the window.
I seriously doubt that you could provide examples of Dem politicians running for national office that's anywhere near as ignorant.
to his defense.. i think girls do get preggo when they subconsciously want to. ive seen it so many times... a girl can be with a guy for years and never gets knocked up, but then go finds a new bf and within weeks BAM she has a baby in the oven.
but to say its impossible for a "real" rape victim to get pregnant? well i think thats just dumb. the human body might have defenses, but those are not impenetrable. natures strongest trait is reproduction... even if its not with the best partner.
The rape exception clause for abortion must INFURIATE republicans, huh?
"Serious" or not, that's not a joke, it's repugnant.
Well if you think about he is just being consistent. If a fetus is truly a person than rape would not be a reason to murder it.
We should respect him for taking an unpopular principled stand. Isnt that what we all want politicians to do?
Being repugnant is what built the modern day Republican party.
As a matter of fact, it does. High levels of stress can trigger ovulation in women (and I shouldn't have to point out that rape would cause higher levels of stress), which leads to rape having a slightly higher chance of leading to pregnancy than regular intercourse.Uh, considering a one time non-rape sexual intercourse with no contraceptives has a 3% chance of pregnancy, does that mean rape INCREASES the risk of pregnancy?

Be that as it may, two wrongs don't make a right. MrColin was well over the line of common decency with his quip.Being repugnant is what built the modern day Republican party.

Republicans are literally obsoleting their party as we speak. Just when you think they can't scrape the bottom of the barrel any further they find another way to.
The Democrats have to be sitting back and laughing at all of this. In another 10 years the GOP as we know it will be relegated to a minority party in all respects. Expect a huge fracturing in the right as we know it as the moderates and fiscal conservatives say fuck you to the loony and disgusting religious right.
This would be the case in any other Western country. Heck, the Republicans would have been long since eliminated as a political force in any other Western nation long ago.
Unfortunately, the majority of the American populace is retarded when it comes to philosophy and ideas, which is why their madness may only make them more popular.
