In 2012 one moronic republican named Todd Akin said this about women getting pregnant from being raped: “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Ask him about climate change and he'll say "I'm no scientists so I don't know" but ask him about rape resulting in pregnancy and the motherfucker is down with science. How typical.
Of course this was the result of a discussion on how to make abortion harder to get so they wanted to cut any funding for victims of rape who got pregnant to have an abortion.
So he teemed up with Mr Bean from Wisconsin to draft a law to take all funding away from paying for abortion for rape victims and in the law they attempted to redefine rape. Seriously. I swear. Its true.
Under H.R. 3, only victims of “forcible rape” would qualify for federally funded abortions. Victims of statutory rape—say, a 13-year-old girl impregnated by a 30-year-old man—would be on their own. So would victims of incest if they’re over 18. And while “forcible rape” isn’t defined in the criminal code, the addition of the adjective seems certain to exclude acts of rape that don’t involve overt violence—say, cases where a woman is drugged or has a limited mental capacity."
So they want a category of rape created as if that's necessary. A woman says no, the man doesn't listen and has sex with her IN ANY WAY BY ANY MEANS. Be it by violence or by drugging them ala Bill Cosby. Rape is rape.
I want to know where this republican party thinks it will get its votes from. They have done polls that show that they win more elections due to people voting against the other side than for the republican party's ideas.
Now they are on the wrong side of almost everything. They lose an election and do in internal autopsy which says they need more minorities and women voters so what do they do? They say more offensive shit to women and minorities.
For fuck's sake.
