Legitimate rape

He does work in mysterious ways.

The 32K women impregnated by rapists every year, (they just aren't able to Akin-style "shut down" impregnation), will sign up for your bull religious beliefs! Get the word out!

this how Repugs run for office in 2012

a growing number of (mostly) male Republicans who are seeking to roll back women’s access to legal abortion services, particularly in cases of rape:

– REP. TODD AKIN (R-MO): “It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

– REP. STEVE KING (R-IA): In an interview with Iowa’s KMEG-TV, King denied ever hearing about anyone getting pregnant from statutory rape or incest, saying: “Well I just haven’t heard of that being a cir stance that’s been brought to me in any personal way, and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”

– REP. ROSCOE BARTLETT (R-MD): At a town hall, Bartlett responded to a question about abortion by reiterating his longstanding opposition to the procedure in every case except for rape, incest, and if the life of the woman is in danger. But when an audience member pressed Bartlett on the rape exception, he suggested that few pregnancies result from rape.

– LINDA MCMAHON: the Connecticut senate hopeful told a local newspaper that Catholic hospitals should not be required to provide emergency contraception to victims of rape. “I mean it’s a separation of church and state in my view, and I think that a religious ins ution has the right to decide what its policies would be in that, in that case,” she claimed. She later reversed herself.

– TOM SMITH: the Republican challenging Sen. Bob Casey’s (D-PA) seat, suggested that having a child out of wedlock was analogous to rape during an interview with a reporter at a press club this afternoon, claiming that it would have a “similar” effect on a father.

– STATE REP. ROGER RIVARD (R-WI): the state lawmakers, who also won Paul Ryan’s backing, claimed that some girls “rape easy” and sometimes portray a sexual encounter as rape if they become pregnant.

– STATE REP. JIM BUCHY (R-OH): admitted that never thought about why a woman would want an abortion. After an Al Jazeera reporter asked Buchy why he thinks some women may want to have an abortion, he fumbled for an appropriate response before admitting he had never thought about that question before.

Wow if anything, rape is darwinism

Pennsylvania Bill Would Reduce Food Stamp Benefits For Women Who Cannot Prove They Were Raped

only if she can provide proof that she reported her sexual assault and her abuser’s iden y to the police:

In determining the amount of assistance payments to a recipient family of benefits under the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program, the department shall revise the schedule of benefits to be paid to the recipient family by eliminating the increment in benefits under the program for which that family would otherwise be eligible as a result of the birth of a child conceived during the period in which the family is eligible for benefits under the TANF Program. [...]

Elimination of benefits under subsection (d) shall not apply to any child conceived as a result of rape or incest if the department: (1) receives a non-notarized, signed statement from the pregnant woman stating that she was a victim of rape or incest, as the case may be, and that she reported the crime, including the iden y of the offender, if known, to a law enforcement agency having the requisite jurisdiction or, in the case of incest where a pregnant minor is the victim, to the county child protective service agency and stating the name of the law enforcement agency or child protective service agency to which the report was made and the date such report was made.

Good for Pennsylvania!

If they are already on assistance and getting paid for the babies they have already had, they have no ing business having more babies so the taxpayers can pay them more money.

I can't believe anyone but Boutons would think that is right.

Having babies you can't afford is irresponsible behavior. Government providing financial incentives for people on welfare to have more babies is even MORE irresponsible.

[boutons_deux]

so if a rape victim is pregnant and doesn't know the name of the rapist, she loses assistance. typcial CC 1%er sociopathy.

[Trainwreck2100]

so if a rape victim is pregnant and doesn't know the name of the rapist, she loses assistance.

no

including the iden y of the offender, if known,

[TeyshaBlue]

So a rape victim won't be denied benefits if she says she reported the crime. What a fascinating non story.

[boutons_deux]

get back to me when PA, or any state, goes after the known rapist for child support

[TeyshaBlue]

Typical moonbat thinkprogress "analysis".


"Pennsylvania Bill Would Reduce Food Stamp Benefits For Women Who Cannot Prove They Were Raped"


There is nothing in the language about proof. Only a statement that she was raped is necessary.

[TeyshaBlue]

Get back to me when you can posit an original, cogent thought.

[boutons_deux]

Gecko campaign still supports Mourdock, and it still supports Akin.

[ploto]

You men do realize that the trauma of rape causes some women not to report it.

[TeyshaBlue]

You men do realize that the trauma of rape causes some women not to report it.

Yes I do. I also realize that reporting this to the police is not necessary to continue to receive food stamps.

Did god impregnate Mary with her consent? Wasn't she technically raped? or did her and god have a chat about him implanting her with his mysterious seed

Why Right-Wingers Can't Stop Saying Insane Things About Women

1. They really and truly believe this stuff

2. They’re emboldened by the Tea Party and the war on women.

3. They’re in denial about the dangers women--and all of us--face

4. They haven’t been punished by voters yet.

Mort 's defense is that God is in his heart and told him and his warped, false conscience to believe and say like that.

Let's see Mort 's conscience guide him if his daughters, sisters, nieces, wife get raped and impregnated by black, HIV/STD infected serial rapists.

Colbert's Advice to GOP: "Since Women Got the Right to Vote, Rape's Approval Rating Has Plummeted"



Colbert added Mourdock to the GOP "Team Rape," which Colbert acknowledged was a name the extreme conservatives probably wouldn't like, but contended, "Come on, they're kind of asking for it."

Meanwhile, he added some helpful advice to his fellow GOP cohorts who might be considering also coming out with their extremist opinions on rape and abortion.

"You might not be aware of this, but in 1920 women got the right to vote. And since then, among likely voters rape's approval rating has plummeted."

Fox Gave Indiana Senate Candidate's Rape Comment Two Minutes Of Coverage

The real Republican rape platform

So is the idea that women are both fundamentally unintelligent and dishonest. Akin's "legitimate rape" comment and Rivard's contention that "some girls rape easy" rely on the idea that women routinely lie about rape and shouldn't be believed; blocking VAWA relied partly on similar logic put forward by men's rights activists, that women lie about being abused in order to secure citizenship and other benefits. Hostility to abortion rights similarly positions rightwing lawmakers as the best people to determine whether or not any particular woman should be legally compelled to carry a pregnancy to term.

Women, they seem to think, don't know their own bodies or their own lives, and cannot be trusted to determine for themselves whether continuing a pregnancy is a good idea.

Rape treats women as vessels, disregarding our autonomy and our right to control what happens to us physically and sexually. The Republican position is that women are not en led to make fundamental decisions about our own bodies and our own sexual and reproductive health. When that position is written into the GOP platform and is a legislative priority, can we really be surprised when it's further reflected in Republican legislators' comments on rape?

These aren't a few errant remarks from insensitive politicians. They're at the heart of the Republican party's agenda.

Of course, the Repugs here will deny supporting rape, but they vote the pro-rape Repugs in repeatedly.

[CosmicCowboy]

Damn, Boutons is really obsessed about rape.

[boutons_deux]

no, Boutons loves ridiculing Repugs, and their voters, who are obsessed with all things vagina.
