I'm not a father, but I'm pretty sure I'd be much happier with my daughter having a kid out of wedlock, than with her getting raped.

Pro Life, right. So where do you stand on war, the military industrial complex, oil, global warming, torture, health care and stuff like that hmmmmmmmmmmm?

[Zajac Staszek]

some of those republican politicians get so wrapped up with the pro life issues that they forget about their daughters...

[GreenGretel]

Ugh.

Guy in the background is uncomfortable.

[Gabrielle Garcia]

The man in the background is hilarious.

[OdinsWrath]

So glad another crazy is out of office. AMERICA

He doesn't say "fortunately for me, I didn't have to teach those", he says "fortunately for me, I didn't have to...she chose the way I, uh.."

What he was going to say when he trailed off is left up to the imagination, but I assume it's applicable to the question of how he'd force a rape victim to keep the baby.

"I lived something similar to that (having to force a child to carry a rape baby), except it wasn't a rape baby, and she decided to keep it. I guess all I can say is, abortion is bad."

Unbelievable how people can be so stupid, and find equally idiotic morons to vote for them. !!!

[gwadayenne]

vous voulez aller au sénat en disant des trucs comme ca?!? tout comme adkins, tu n'est qu'un pauvre con! psychrigide égoiste tu ne pense qu'a ta gueule ! t'arrive a comparer deux parents non mariés et un criminel et sa victime?!? connard!

This is why I don't use the term "rape". It's historically a property crime, and that's exactly how this guy sees it.

Now, if you talk about "aggravated sexual assault", I think he'd see the difference between that, and unmarried parents. It takes a long time to say "aggravated sexual assault" -- long enough to think about just how stupid you'll sound when you claim it's the same as anything else.
