Women, you scared yet? You should be.
If there is something everyone can agree on, it would seem that the idea that rape can result in unwanted pregnancy would be right up there at the top of the list.
Not so in Missouri, where the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate on Sunday advanced the theory that the female reproductive system shuts down when a woman is being raped, thus preventing conception.
U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, a tea party candidate who is challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in Missouri’s closely watched Senate race, was asked in a local television interview about whether he supports access to abortion in the case of rape.
“If abortion could be considered in case of, say, a tubal pregnancy [which threatens the mother’s life], what about in the case of rape?” asked KTVI-TV host Charles Jaco, in a clip that was disseminated by Talking Points Memo. “Should it be legal or not?”
Twice in less than 24 hours, two different campaign races, two different states, I’ve read news stories that are blatantly ignorant and/or worse. To assuage my revulsion I’m decided to make a small donation of $25.00 contribution to that person’s opponent. It’s not much money individually but I expect I will have WAY MANY MORE contributions to make before the elections. It feels cathartic..
That’s what happens when theologians educate the leaders on medical matters that do not relate to the politician who is only concerned for his self and others made in the mirror image of him.
Two different states? Guess Coburn (Dr. and minister) blasted out too on the subject. Baptist think any woman who isn’t fixing a drunken piss and moan squall bag should be labeled homosexual or thrown in the prostitute category. They’ve promoted one such woman in the political arena…Sally Kern.
They are for breast enhancements, though. Big boobs appeal to their image of the “perfect” woman. It would make your head spin when thinking about their beliefs.
When they have nothing they intend to really deal with, they start in on the female body so others will think they are the magicians that can fix everything.
At least with this pseudo Christian outlook, there are plenty of arms available! The tea party makes sure of that. Their goal is to salvage to ultra liberals who are waaaaay too stoned to realize what’s going on.
The idiocy of it all!
