"Legitimate rape"

I just don't even... Again[/utl]? These folks just don't quit.

John Koster is a Republican running for Congress in Washington.

^Whoops, link fail. Try this for the story.

fixed.

Generally speaking, this issue tends to favor the younger generation. Given enough time, it's likely it will be come less of an issue, that is if "we" don't become less vocal in support of pro-choice. Though it's important to combat political opposition, it's equally important to gain the social higher ground by effectively communicating a message that is identifiable with younger generations.

This is where the pro-life movement tends to excel, by formulating a "high moral ground" argument reinforced through theological indoctrination. However, this obstacle can be overcome by providing young women a balance of historical context whilst remaining relative to contemporary attitudes on sex and sexuality. This, coupled with legal and moral understandings of choice-realated issues (such as safe sex-ed, discussing rape and incest, and describing the dangers of underground abortions, disparity caused by unplanned pregnancy, etc), would help provide holistic approach to combat the abstinence only/pro-life arguments pushed by the religious right.

I read an interesting article, written by a 20-something woman at Advocates For Youth. She focuses on the changing attitudes and understanding of issues like abortion and gay rights, and it's definitely worth checking out.

I just googled Todd Akin cause I forgot the state which he represents to see how his state is doing on election results and found this gem on Wikipedia lol

I really love Wikipedia sometimes

For once, there is a cost to being an asshole:

Mourdock: lost to the Democrat

Akin: lost to the Democrat

Smith: lost to the Demorat

I was watching the results come in in Indiana, and it seemed Mourdock conceded the race pretty quickly. Those comments really bit him in the ass.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Oddly enough, the Indiana elections website shows Mourdock as having ~31,000 more votes than Donnelly. He quit too early, from his supporters' point of view.

A judge in Southern California believes that if a person doesn't want sex, their body won't let it happen.

He says other stupid things as well, as can be seen in the article.

How do people like this exist?!

Another Republican doesn't know when to shut up.

Yes, she really said that. Yes, she is that stupid. But wait, there's more!

I shudder every times I see this thread bumped.

Of course, even if she were correct in her statement that "rape almost never leads to pregnancies" it would have no bearing whatsoever on the question of whether the law should permit abortion to be performed in cases of rape.

On another note, I find her remark "I don’t know what percentage of pregnancies are due to the violence of rape" to be most illuminating.

This single remark calls into question the rest of her argument.

If she doesn't know this one thing, she is not in a position to state that "rape almost never leads to pregnancies".

Hence, she has already shot her own argument down in flames without the need for anyone to even debate the matter with her!!!

Doh!

They may be the conscience of the Republican Party, but judging by Celeste Greig's remarks, they certainly aren't the brain of the Republican Party.

This might not be the right thread but I found this to be pretty shocking.

The guy who's supposed to be policing rape in the Air Force commits, you guessed it, rape.

I guess it would be too much to suggest that the put a woman in charge of this next time.

A woman policing rape in the air force, are ya nuts? what's next, a woman helping to make decisions for woman's reproductive health?

his mug shot is just...wow.




it says "i've been exposed to the world as the biggest dickhead ever"

Or "Irony is a bitch..."
