It’s ironic, because he is known for his grooming practices.
Paul Broun, it should be noted, has had a starring role in this thread before. He’s the Georgia Congressman who publicly stated in October of last year that evolution and the Big Bang Theory (the actual theory, not the TV show) are (and I quote) “lies from the Pit of Hell”.
Viddy well, my droogs, the Constitution is real horror show!
As someone elsewhere said: If I set fire to this congressman, can I arrest him for putting out the fire using the same ‘tampering with evidence’ logic?
Out of curiosity, did the Soviet Union actually have a written constitution?
I don’t know why, but I’m actually surprised they’re doubling down on the rape thing.
Yep. Three of them.
Hey…we’re not all batshit crazy.
The best part is that the whole thing looks to be a set-up. Apparently Sally Kern is the woman who was “innocently” asking questions.
LOL. Leave it to the Republicans. Only they could be so twisted at to take two emotionally charged topics like abortion and rape and somehow smash those two together.
Either one of those subjects alone the Republicans don’t do well on. Both together? LOL, seriously, what are these guys thinking?
It’s a two-fer. Outlaw abortion AND make women the ones who must sacrifice in order to prevent rape.
I can comprehend the view that abortion is murder and sacrilege. I totally disagree, but I can imagine a religious person feeling strongly the other way.
But …
We all know that the more involved or seemingly intelligent right-wing posts on message boards are parodies, composed by rationalists in the hopes that reductio ad absurdem will lead the batshit-crazy back to the light. I think Cathrynn Brown is a rationalist, who ran for office as a troll and is now working from within the GOP as a parodist, to demonstrate its complete loss of reason.
I can imagine no other explanation for this most peculiar proposal.
Meanwhile, a Catholic hospital in Denver is being sued for malpractice by a man whose pregnant wife and her unborn twin sons died in their care.
In the hospital’s brief, they argue that the man has no standing to sue them for the wrongful death of the twins, because unborn fetuses aren’t people.
Well, there’s been an update, a clarification if you will, of what Brown intended with this bill:
So, she wasn’t trying to keep rape victims from aborting the evidence, *she’s just really really crap at writing bills to say what she wants them to say.
*
Read the text of the bill here and decide what she seems to have meant by it.
Oh, I think that law says exactly what she wants it to say.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s as much a “clarification” as yet another “oh crap, they’re calling me on this bullshit, what can I make up to sound slightly less lunatic”.
I see the GOP is still trying to cozy up to women.
In a related matter, New Mexico has a sex education problem.
Certainly not the land of enlightenment, but still way behind Arizona, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and several other states for pure stupid.
But it’s most certainly the Land of Enchantment, BigAppleBucky 
Weasel powers! Activate!
Someone on another forum said it’s “like the GOP has Rape Tourette’s or something”. They just blurt out absurdly misogynistic rape comments every so often.
