Republicans Get Even More Despicable

In the House's idiotic and completely unnecessary bill about banning federal aid for abortions (which has already been illegal since the '70s), they amend the current law's exceptions for government abortion aid - which currently stand at rape, incest, and in cases where the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother - to say only in the case of "forcible" rape can exceptions be granted.

As this Gawker article points out (quoting a Mother Jones article), in legal terms that would exclude most date rapes, statutory rapes, and rapes that occur when the victim is drugged, given excessive alcohol, or is mentally handicapped. How incredibly f**ked up is that?

I wonder if those Republicans writing that bill got raped, would they classify it as anything but "forcible"? Someone is literally forcing you to have intercourse without your legal consent. That is rape. That is forcible. Republicans can f**k themselves if they think it's anything but that.

I know we're supposed to tone it down a notch in terms of discourse, but what that bill states is wrong on every single level imaginable. It is horrible, despicable, and dirty. It makes my insides bleed to read it.

Here's an amendment I'd like to make to that law, "Every Republican who has helped write this bill must tell each poor 11-year-old girl who's pregnant with the child of some drugged out rapist that she has to carry that baby to term, themselves, in person, while she sobs and sobs and tells them that she's contemplating suicide because she can't bear to bring that child into this horrible world. Then they must watch whatever happens happen."

Yes, that seems fitting.
