I'm sure buddy's sister-in-law who died during childbirth 3 years ago would beg to differ. The man is as big a douche as he is a moron.

“But on the rape thing, it’s like, how does putting more violence onto a woman’s body and taking the life of an innocent child that’s a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better? You know what I mean?”

Yeah, John, you mean to simply cannot relate to many a woman's feelings about being raped.

When it comes to the effects of rape on a victim, I think we should probably take the actual victims' word over some clownish cretin like this guy.

But he knew a woman who decided to keep a rape baby and he doesn't think she has any regrets. Surely that's more than enough information on which to base sweeping national legislation repealing US women's reproductive rights. They (women) might complain, but they just don't understand what a blessing it will be to have their very own rape babies to raise. I'm sure they'll realize their mistake in time, they just need a little firm guidance from right-thinking men.

I wonder if those who decided to keep their rape-babies only do so out of a sense of religious obligation, and raise the child with resentment in their heart. I wonder when they look at the child's face, if they see that of their attacker, and misdirect that anger upon the kid.
Good point. Given human nature, that's almost certain to be the case in some instances.
Any idea how much money via political contributions these guys rake in with this chit? It's gotta be a big moneymaker. (Just like how corporations buy politicians)

I think they believe it. I don't think it's about money or even votes. Women are abandoning this party by the binderfull.

Fiscal conservatives need to start distancing themselves from religious fundamentalist if they want a viable political party. As the years progress religious fundamentalism continues to fall out of favor with mainstream society. People are beginning to wake up and see them as the kooky fringe rather than as the norm. They know they can't win people over, which is why they're all about undermining education and mass breeding, to keep their numbers up.
FH, are you saying Republicanism is hereditary?
Republicans say some pretty racist things.

I'm saying many religious fundamentalists have large litters and thoroughly indoctrinate their brood, then their little automatons grow up to repeat the process.
Your reluctance to start a thread of your own, rather than attempt to derail an existing one, is both a nearly constant problem on this forum and rather annoying. Perhaps you should stay out of threads you feel some compulsive obligation to derail.
How do you explain the Preacher's daughter syndrone?

Paying lip service to religion is an unfortunate prerequisite for being a successful politician in the U.S., which inevitably leads to unsavory bedfellows.

Attempts to indoctrinate children aren't always successful, of course, and it's understandable why a female might resent her fundamentalist upbringing.

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

What is the exact quote that you would like to add to this archive of stupidity? That "America is going to hell"?
Personally, I'm avoiding the low-hanging fruit of "stupid things partisan religious leaders say" and sticking to quotes made by legislators and aspiring legislators, but to each their own.
