I have yet to understand why any self-respecting woman would be a Republican.

Victims are raped twice: first by the perp and second by this Republican Congress. Sickening.

“it’s ‘the quickest way to ensure that there is less reporting of rape’ by women.”

It’s also a deliberate attempt to threaten women with prosecution for falsely reporting a crime just so they can get an abortion. Shall we just move it along and require a conviction first before allowing her to obtain an abortion? If not, shall we prosecute her if she has the abortion after reporting her rape and the guy escapes conviction?

Bottom line: these people hate women…deeply, unrelentingly and unreasoningly hate them. Their mothers must have been total cunts.

Seriously? More anti-abortion crap from the GOP? It’s all they think about: abortion restrictions and high income tax cut giveaways.

Romney won married women. I can’t tell you why, but he did.

I wouldn’t limit your statement to women; though why ANY thinking woman would join these troglodytes is a mystery. GOP men are, however, routinely stupid people.

Rape-related language may be tweaked ?.. but the GOP is figuring that it will be a challenge to adjust the wording… and yet still make sure that the the ability to terminate their pregnancy is only available to those few women who truly and genuinely were victims of “Real Rape” … certainly they would like to ask a series of questions to assess whether the woman resisted vigorously enough… did she shout out in a strong voice for help ?.. was she wearing provocative clothing?

Follow up, if I may: “Is rape the hussy’s fault or God’s way of bringing babies into the world sometimes?”

Because there are none!

let’s take medical decision-making out of the hands of physicians and put it in the hands of people who voted for the guy who believes in moon men and pet dinosaurs.

Still amateur hour in the House GOP caucus.
