Santorum: Raped women should accept unborn as a gift from God

After someone on Fox news denies it, here is an actual statement from Rick Santorum as seen on Young Turks. Doesn't think his own daughters should get an abortion if raped.



So the rapist did you a favor by fertilizing your egg and you should accept this as a gift from God?!!

Just keep it simple. Don't feel like you have to go all out. A nice gift card from Barnes & Noble, or maybe some bath salts, that'd be just fine.

I can't think of anything more absurd than God would deliver his "gift" in such a way. Should the Katrina victims look upon that as a "gift from God"?

Do we need any further proof that he's nothing more than a shill for the American Taliban?

Ricky Sweater Vest, who has never wondered where or when his next meal might be coming from, also thinks that everyone should bear and keep special needs children as well, just like he and his family did. Without any of that bad old government assistance. While caring for special needs children is no walk in the park for anyone, it's considerably easier when you have a sinecure from fatcats lavishly bankrolling your lifestyle.

So, ladies, to avoid this left-handed gift from God, apparently you should never leave home with your uterus or vagina. Otherwise, you're just asking for it. I have one other thing to say about Ricky Sweater Vest, but it's the sort of thing that offends some people in a way that talk about raping women doesn't. So don't click and drag below if you're easily offended.

[font color="white"]I wonder if Ricky Sweater Vest would be reconsidering the myriad gifts of the Creator should he ever be forcibly bent over a table?

Yeah, he's a fucking nut, but he's a consistent nut. No matter what, I think that CHOICE is for the woman to make, not anyone else.

And the child/woman has the baby, if the rapist wasn't caught, is the state going to find the deadbeat for child support? I bet by some miracle, they will find him for child support, rape not so much, "He said/She said" after all.
And if they don't find him, then it should be the state that FULLY supports this rape baby from cradle to grave. These people are disgusting. If we can't win on this issue ALONE, we are a lost nation.

Next new Repuke law: Rapist have a choice too. Why let some "slut" you raped have an abortion. Who gives her the right? Let's stop murder over rape. Support you local rapist.
