Reminds me of that congressman in...Wisconsin? who wanted a resolution saying that single parenting is akin to child abuse. Seriously, where do they come up with these Neanderthals? (I apologize if my comments are insulting to Neanderthals). And then they say the GOP is emphatically, definitely not waging a war on women. Not in the least bit. |

| He said in cases of "legitimate rape" women won't pregnant. He will still probably win the Senate seat in Missouri. Who are these women who vote Republican? |

| McCaskill may have a chance to hold on to her seat which she doesn't deserve. A real Democrat would attend the convention. |

I didn't know my lady parts had magic powers!
I guess now I won't need to prepare for rape by purchasing an add-on abortion plan for my health insurance. |

That man is a bonafide idiot. The term 'legitimate rape' infuriates me.
How are the Republicans going to defend this fool's statements? |

| Remember the way witches were tried -- dunked in a lake, and if they did not drown, it proved they were witches, so they were executed. Similarly, the test of a "legitimate" rape is whether you get pregnant. If so, it was not a legitimate rape, and you're a whore who deserves the pregnancy as punishment. |

When I was in college, a (male, obviously) PhD biology student wrote an op-ed in the school paper arguing that birth control was unnecessary, because women "always know" when they are ovulating due to the "clear and present" physical signs.
This was two decades ago, and I still remember that phrase, because we started calling pretty much anything -- pimples, sneezing, bad hair, hangover -- a "clear and present sign" of ovulation.
