GOP Candidate Opposes Abortion Exception In Cases Of 'The Rape Thing'

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/10/31/1120251/gop-candidate-opposes-abortion-exceptions-in-cases-of-the-rape-thing/


SICK, SICK SICK, THE RAPE THING??  despicable bastard
Koster said he would support abortion only if the woman’s life was in danger, but would not extend the same right to women who are survivors of incest or “the rape thing,” as he casually termed it. To justify his opposition, Koster insisted that incest is rare and argued that abortion would only further hurt rape survivors:
Incest is so rare, I mean, it’s so rare. But the rape thing…you know, I know a woman who was raped and kept her child, gave it up for adoption, she doesn’t regret it. In fact, she’s a big pro-life proponent. But on the rape thing, it’s like, how does putting more violence onto a woman’s body and taking the life of an innocent child that’s the consequence of this crime, how does that make it better? You know what I mean?
how does any women support such insanity?
Koster’s comments are similar to those of Senate candidate Richard Mourdock (R-IN), who recently said that rape pregnancies are “a gift from God,” and Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), who claimed women could not get pregnant from “legitimate rape.” In fact, Koster is very much in the Republican mainstream, as a growing number of Republican candidates call for tighter restrictions on the reproductive rights of rape victims.
what do those right wing female politicians say to their families their daughters as to why they support and stump for such a deviated platform? shame on them
