Chuck Winder, Idaho Lawmaker, Suggests Women Use Rape As Excuse For Abortions
Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this," Winder said on the Senate floor. "I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that's part of the counseling that goes on.

(10,602 posts)I cannot believe the twisted logic that I see here. I guess that means that the woman will have to questioned in detail about all the recent relationships she has had. If married or in a relationship how many times she has had a relationship.
Somehow the rapist becomes irrelevant. I feel like I am in the twilight zone now.

(14,337 posts)it used to be required that a woman PROVE rape; i.e, she had to show that she fought off, with physical bruises, a rapist. Otherwise, they assumed that she CONSENTED TO IT. Just dressing provactively, was enough to show that she was "asking for it".
I feel like I am living in a time wrap here. Am I really THIS OLD for others to have never heard of this before?

(8,830 posts)If he thinks forcible sex in a marriage is 'normal relations' I pity his wife. Her life has undoubtedly been hell.
I will not say what I am thinking I would like to have happen to every one of these brain-dead di*ks because I refuse to put it in print. Suffice to say, it would be slow, excruciating, and endless.
