Lawmaker Says Women Should Plan Ahead for Rape

Kansas state Rep. Pete DeGraaf (R) is getting heat for comments he made about a bill prohibiting general health insurance plans from covering abortions, including for victims of rape and incest, the Witchita Eagle reports.

He suggested that women "plan ahead" by buying a separate policy that covers abortion.

When asked how women are supposed to plan ahead for issues over which they have no control, DeGraaf responded, "I have a spare tire on my car... I also have life insurance. I have a lot of things that I plan ahead for."

2. Can we start thinking of these people as stupid

It makes me wonder what their IQ is. There has to be a comprehension void in their thinking capacity, and not just in their emoting. The idiocy some of these people come up with when it comes to abortions is seriously worrying.

3. I have. I keep a box of Plan B on hand at all times.

Guess he wouldn't approve of that, though.
