Tea Partier: Women Aborting Rapist’s Baby Should Serve Same Time As Rapist!

Tea Partier: Women Aborting Rapist’s Baby Should Serve Same Time As Rapist!

Here’s a disturbing moment of Tea Party insanity thanks to the horribly uninformed and hyperbolic news director of the Tea Party News Network, Scottie Hughes. Hughes commits one logical fallacy after another, while lying through her tea-stained teeth about abortions in America, and the women who have them. She thinks a fertilized egg is a baby, and life begins at conception.

At the 5:18 mark in the video things really get nasty. John Fugelsang asks the deranged tea partier, “Let’s say Roe v. Wade is overturned and abortion becomes illegal. If a woman is raped and she goes to a doctor, and the doctor terminates the pregnancy – Please tell me who deserves the longest jail sentence? The rapist,the doctor or the woman? In order.”

Tea Party nit-wit Scottie Hughes answers, “Across the board.”

“All three of them?” Fugelsang asks.

“Go for it!” Said Hughes.

If Roe was overturned, a lot of antis would be happy to raid every women's health clinic in America, and the office of every OB/GYN who ever performed an abortion, get the names of anyone who ever had it done, and arrest them all. Fifty years for murder, and who cares if the Constititution some of which they revere says they can't?

A guy goes into a 7/11 and robs the place, the clerk behind the counter is shot during the heist. The robber/shooter is captured, tried, and convicted. This clown would deny the clerk medical care and sentence the poor fellow to the same jail term as the shooter.

Good thinking on that one .....
