More idiocy: Rep. Steve King: I’ve Never Heard Of A Girl Getting Pregnant From Statutory Rape Or Incest
Yeah, if you stand there with your fingers in your ears going, "La la la I can't hear you" when people tell you things....
In the KMEG interview, King defended Akin as “a strong Christian man, with a wonderful family” and appeared to push back on those calling for Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race.
Ugh.
What it comes down to is many Republicans are trying to deny that banning abortion would have any bad effects.
STATUTORY?? He's never heard of teen pregnancy, then?
“Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way,” King told KMEG-TV Monday, “and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”
Okay, look. I don't personally know anyone who's climbed Mount Everest. But I'm not about to claim that doing so is biologically impossible and that therefore we should ban hiking boots and parkas.

Why are there no pictures of actual feet attached to people wearing those shoes?

I was wondering the same thing.
Perhaps these shoes are more conceptual than practical.
I think those women forced into unwanted pregnancies should have access to a bank of names of the politicians and legislators in their home states and cities who are opposed in any way to choice. When the time comes, one of those names goes on the form under "father," and when she leaves the hospital, both the child and the bills are the problem of the "father." Further, the names of those rude, vocal, anti-choice "volunteers" should be part of that bank, too. Make them directly responsible for *their* choices.
I vote Bev for Queen of Everything, effective this instant.
“Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way,”
I've never met Rep. King, yet without personal experience, I know he's an idiot.
I've always said. "Y'all, play nice!" would fix a world of problems.
