Now isn't that reassuring. Lie back and think of god all ye victims, and feel blessed by the fruit of your suffering.

Sigh.

At least he realizes that "legitimate rape" can lead to pregnancy points for that? [grasps for straws..doesn't find any]

I knew before I even read the thread that it would be a white, male American right wing MP. They're all the bloody same.

It sounds like a sneaky pro-lifers tactic to me. "Of course we are reasonable people, and would never force a rape victim to give birth to her rapists baby. Happily we now believe that it is impossible for a woman to become pregnant through rape, so let's just close that little loophole, shall we?....'

Here is the Republican Party's rape advisory chart. Pretty shocking-sadly not surprising.

Have any of these wankers actually outlined how they see their rape carve-out working? Do you have to state you were raped? Have reported it? Wait till there is a suspect in custody?

Most of them don't believe a woman should be allowed an abortion even in case of rape thedoctorine.. It's not the baby's fault and it will lead to women "crying rape" apparently :(
