How wrong I was. My God. [/quote]
Correct. Go look at the GOP corruption thread for more. I lost track over the hundred plus pages of how many rapists and child rapists and other assorted life destroying sex crimes various Republican elected officials are guilty of. It’s disgusting and it’s clearly a serious problem in the party.[/quote]

Yeah, I’m a political moderate who has voted for Republicans in the past, and I used to think that the Democrats were being pretty hypocritical about the sex assaults by Republicans because there are plenty of sex assaulter amongst the Democrats too. But the aftermath of the Roe decision has shown to me that this issue of Republican child rapists is deeply part of the party. They really, as a group, support child rape. It’s horrifying to watch.

I’m probably not going to vote Republican again in my lifetime, barring serious restructuring of the party. I can’t stomach it. Between the enthusiastic cheerleading for child rape (my God!!), the insurrection, and the blind allegiance to the gun lobby, I can’t see how I could ever vote for them. [/quote]

WTF are you talking about?  “Cheerleading for child rape”??  Do you even hear yourself?[/quote]

What is inaccurate about that assessment and the current Republicans? They are in favor of child rape. [/quote]

The more you repeat this garbage, the farther people will run from you.  Please stop.  No one - NO ONE - is in favor of child rape, or rape of any kind.  You just sound like an utter psychopath.

No, it sounds accurate. This is what the Republicans support now. It’s upsetting you because it’s true.

JFC.  Seek help.  There’s no point trying to converse with disturbed people like you.[/quote]

I would think the people in favor of children being raped and forced to bear the child of their rapists are the ones who need to seek help. But if you don’t see anything wrong with that, I can’t help you. [/quote]

ٌYou venal pieces of crap. You seem to grasp on some level that forcing a child to continue a pregnancy is bad, to the extent that one of your mouthpieces speaking before congress literally said that an abortion for a ten year old isn’t abortion (as you have tried to say with ectopic and other life threatening pregnancies, even though the law is written such that doctors can’t give lifesaving abortions in these states).

Come off it. Your whole policy position is stupid and cruel. You know that everyone who isn’t a kool aid swilling forced birther sees that now and you are effing terrified. It’s just a matter of time before some poor 9 or 13 year old dies from pregnancy complications or some photogenic Instagram woman with three kids and 500,000 followers is murdered by your idiotic laws. You know it’s game over. [/quote]

Isn’t the witness saying that the law would not prevent the 10 year old from seeking an abortion because she could be harmed?  [/quote]
The guy who wrote the law says the 10-year-old needs to stay pregnant and give birth.[/quote]

Can I see that in a documented statement from the lawmaker who wrote the law please?[/quote]

The 10-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to receive an abortion in Indiana should have carried her pregnancy to term and would be required to do so under a model law written for state legislatures considering more restrictive abortion measures, according to the general counsel for the National Right to Life.

Jim Bopp, an Indiana lawyer who authored the model legislation in advance of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, told POLITICO on Thursday that his law only provides exceptions when the pregnant person’s life is in danger.

“She would have had the baby, and as many women who have had babies as a result of rape, we would hope that she would understand the reason and ultimately the benefit of having the child,” Bopp said in a phone interview on Thursday.[/quote]
So, does this change ^PP"s mind? Probably not.  Vile... forcing a 10 yr old girl to have her rapist's baby.  Just vile. What kind of parent would be fine with this - forced birthers.[/quote]

I'm the PP. I read further on in the story. It makes it clear that Bopp knows the law has rape/incest as an exception, but that Bopp has conflicts about that. Doesn't matter how he feels (or how anyone feels for that matter). What matters is if the girl was entitled to an abortion in Ohio given her age/circumstance and the answer is yes.[/quote]
The flaw in their logic is that if a life is a life, then it doesn't matter how the life was conceived. So, why should rape be an exemption?

This is the problem with rigid thinking. It leaves no room for real life, which is often, shades of gray.

And thank God Bopp did not et his way, right? So clearly there was room for real life.[/quote]
Yes, thank goodness that, in this case, a forced birther didn't get his way.

But, you still didn't answer the question: "if a life is a life, then it doesn't matter how the life was conceived. So, why should rape be an exemption?"

A life is a life, doesn't matter how it was conceived. Why should the baby suffer for the sins of the father, right? That's Bopp's reasoning of his opinion of why rape *shouldn't* be an exemption.[/quote]

Because we live in the real world. You are asking hypotheticals, which some extremely religious people follow to the letter, but they are by far the exception, not the rule.  Which is why Bopp’s statements were wishes but not changes.[/quote]
hypotheticals?  I think it's been proven already that a 10 yr old was raped and impregnated.  A life is a life. What difference does it make how that life was conceived, right?[/quote]
