get it? it's funny 'cause his name is pete!

thank you! i'll be here all week!

as though it was consensual sex. Then it dawned on me; thats how all of their sexual encounters are. They think husbands have a right to force their wives into sex. Who would want to have consensual sex with these pigs? Their entire sex lives amount to molestation, sexual misconduct or rape.

Maybe thats why they just don't get it.

Rape is violence, assault, has nothing to do with sex.

Property has no rights, cannot be assaulted. Can be bred.

he was out front for spewing this kind of woman-hating insanity.

women or the female body except that "making babies is good."

This is what we get for no sex education in schools.....

to attach to your clothing, all the better to stigmatize those who have not "plan(ned) ahead" as DeGraaf and his ilk term it.

Follow me for a bit:

If you can't get pregnant from a "legitimate" rape, where is he really going? Maybe women should carry hits of X so they can just enjoy the act, then accept the joyous gift from god - and that means they should also prepare for this gift by stocking up on diapers, clothes, etc. thereby consuming more and creating jobs! So a case can be made that rapists are job creators and are stimulating the economy!!

Hey, it's the same logic the Republicans are using!! (I don't need a sarcasm tag here, do I?)

give the GOP an idea for their 2016 RNC Platform!!

I'd put a sarcasm tag, but then again, with the Pubbies, you never know........they might think it's a great idea you've got there!

If I were you, I'd be expecting a call from Karl Rove in the near future.

But now I feel dirty. Need a shower. You're right, what we think is outrageous, they think is normal. A sarcasm tag wouldn't help a Republican reading that. A clue-by-four across the head may not even help them anymore!!

By forcing the raped woman to bear the child, she will be contributing another number to those who will eventually be of age to join the military. Gotta keep the inventory up.

If they are lucky, the woman will bear multiples.

we need to make sure this goes viral

A man here was just arrested for sexually assaulting several women as they walked in a busy downtown area. They were just walking - and they should be prepared for a rape? And how do you do that, exactly? Carry a gun? Mace?

C'mon Kansas.. banning insurance companies that offer abortion coverage? Fuck you. Abortion is legal!! No women goes around hoping to be in that position, but things happen in life.. and last time I checked women did NOT get pregnant without the help of a man (unless it was a medical procedure, and even then a man had to provide something to make that happen.) But it's almost always the men that are deciding what happens with our bodies.

The flat tire comment is something I'd heard before from that crowd. Not shocking considering who said it. Who thought it was a good idea to elect an extremist pastor to office???

tire out on a dark highway. You are changing the tire when a complete stranger walks out of the dark and busts you up the side of the head with a hammer. When you try to rise, you are beaten down.

He may or may not have sex with you, he does with you what gives him a feeling of satisfaction. How would you suggest one "plan ahead" for this? He has hurt, thoroughly humiliated and degraded you, taken away a little bit of you, and you will never, ever get this repaired. You could tell others, but most really won't be able to do more than empathize. Some will even treat you harshly, like shaking someone's broken arm, only they are doing it to your spirit, knowingly or unwittingly. It hurts, even if you are strong enough, and not everyone is.

It doesn't matter if you are a woman, or a little boy, or anyone else.

Where do you buy insurance against that?

Especially for Republicans. Insure them against their own worst tendencies.

Like a flat tire. I mean, it happens to everybody eventually, right? And it's no big deal.

Let's chemically castrate all males, yes all of them. A man who wants to marry and have children will have to purchase a separate insurance policy, or pay out of his own pocket to reverse the chemical castration.

As a penis/testicle wearing member of our species, I guess I'm forced to apologize for stupid idiots like DeGraaf, though I hate him to his very core because he's a bloviating ignoramus and a Republican. We don't all think like this. Castrate those who believe this nonsense.

Nothing has bothered me more in the coverage than those lazy journalists who are letting this stuff get written off as 'gaffes' or 'misspeaking'. (Obviously, this does not apply to all journalists, just bad ones.)

This is not a foot-in-the-mouth mistake. The mistake is in not realizing that their genuine thoughts will be widely disseminated. Or maybe some of them are proud to air their views and just want to see their names in the paper, like serial killers.

All of these 'gaffes' start to look like policy.

Every woman, no matter how old, should stock up on new born diapers. Just in case. Even if you aren't sexually active or have no intention of having kids. It's not really up to you at this point. You have no more control over your body or your life. The rapist will decide when you are ready to have kids. Then the politicians will decide that you are going to keep it. Good luck.

same time

party and if not stopped now and the Republicans win this time we are all doomed! Beyond the Pale! Every newscaster and reporter in Ohio needs to air this several times a day. A single person can't make this happen. But one single person getting by with it should be put in jail.

.... Repug men know NOTHING about women or what their "strange (to them, obviously) lives" are like or entail. They have no knowledge or seem capable of any kind of empathy toward what a woman might experience in (I assume) ANY sexual situation. Rape is an inconvenience to women in their minds. They are almost like Victorian men-of-power with autism when it comes to the subject of women.... in general, and women and sex in particular.

These incomplete humans should obviously never make any kind of decisions concerning women's health... and probably ANYBODY'S health.... this much is evident.

Their anti-choice views are rooted in totally nonsensical points of view. Their ideas are simply unexplainable which is why we're seeing them spouting totally crazy things about "legitimate rape" or "planning ahead" for being raped.

Not LBN.

...because it's your fault for dressing sexy, it's your fault if your secret repellent chemicals don't work and it's your fault if you're not expecting to be raped.

Wow. This is a party with real problems with masculinity, particularly with a candidate who's looking to become a god after he dies and who'll spend eternity running celestial harems on various planets.

I guess that's what the magic underwear is for.

I wonder how Ann feels about all this.

door! Then it's HIS problem....!!!!!

The whole argument is beyond stupid!

Pretty obvious why they think this way isn't it? I mean, it's ALWAYS blame the victim:

* you got raped - your fault you're a slut
* you lost your job - you're stupid, not my fault we outsourced it, etc
* you don't have health care - your fault for not having enough $ (see above)
* you can't (insert xxx here) - not my fault we took all the $$ for tax cuts and war

On and on and ON.

They support a lot of types of rape - not just the type we're talking here.....

I think if I had been near this guy when he said that I would have had to restrain myself from belting him square in his teeth. I'm not a violent person. I think I just need to quit reading the news and go stare at a meadow or something. These horrible, benighted fools are starting to take a toll on me. I hear all this crap and all I can think about is the world my daughters will be inheriting.

You're on your own, you should have planned ahead.

In its most extreme form, this line of thinking would
ban all insurance of all kinds as SOCIALISM!!

And insurance did arise from the idea of helping one's
neighbor as he would help you in times of need.
Mutual insurance companies, get it?

Now it's all about profit, private property.

The Bible Thumpers are becoming cold cruel without
any human empathy in the service of their IDEOLOGY.

AYN RAND IDEOLOGY!

These fuckers blame anything on women. First off, rape is rape, and the degrees of rape overall is bullshit. Second, these "men" never take into content that the problem relies on the rapist themselves? Rapist from the get go do have emotional criminal tendencies and in many cases have sexual malfunctions, therefore, its not the wo-men who have the magical sperminator device, its the rapist themselves that can not ejaculate properly.

I couldn't detest the party of idiots more

some of the men who talk this way. There is something very wrong when someone doesn't see the true nature of an assault but views it as no big deal.

RW Lunatics - these guys are truly the gift that keeps on giving. I'm beginning to think that sometime in the near future they're all going to show up with a collective case of broken jaws to explain the reason Rove had all their mouths wired shut.

ought to be using birth control. to anticipate avoiding unwanted pregnancies woman need to be prepared this way.
abortion only insurance? this suggestion is ludicrous. why should any legislators create a situation that would cause this to become necessary?
DeGraaf is an ass.
how do people this stupid get elected to public office?

However, it is not LBN--it's over a year old. I would encourage you to repost this in GD and point out the very fact that this "war on women" stuff isn't new--it's been going on for some time now.
