GOP Congressman says pregnancies from rape are rare

[bendog]

Thanks for admitting that social conservatives are radical nutters.

There was a time when social consevatism meant making sure stuff like health insurance was available because we believed informed people make correct decisions most of the time, and govt isn't good at making personal decisions. But we let Jesus nutters in.

wow, WE? let Jesus nutters in or you mean a TOLERANT person such as you did? and you/we are just too kind you let other people in who have DIFFERENT VIEWS ?
so talking about what is the truth you are now called a nutter..

Before Reagan a fundy christian couldn't have bought power in the gop. We were about moderatation. Reagan brought back the ideology of limited govt, but not the practice, and injected the moral not-so-majority.

The party rebranding is going swimmingly ... like a sperm up a rape victim's .....

And NEVER let science get in the way of belief.

Liberals believe in science? When did this happen? They keep trying to get global warming propped up, even when it's been clearly debunked

someone still hasnt posted how often rape pregnancies occur. And why do liberals duck the issue, by bringing up these kinds of cases? Again, lets see how many of the 1.5 million abortions per year are related to rape, my guess it that not even 5% are.

WASHINGTON -- GOP Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona reportedly said Wednesday that the incidences of pregnancy from rape are "very low," months after a similar comment led Todd Akin to lose a Senate race in Missouri.

The Washington Post reports Franks made his statement during a House Judiciary Committee meeting Wednesday on the Arizona congressman's bill to ban abortions nationwide after 20 weeks gestation.

Franks, a social conservative first elected in 2002, was objecting to a Democratic amendment to make exceptions in cases of rape and incest.

Report: GOP rep says pregnancies from rape are rare

He's right.

One would be enough.

One would be enough for what?

Remember, the topic here is that a politician CORRECTLY used the term ‘rare.’ One is enough for what in that context?

The fact is, someone on the right made an accurate statement and the left in this thread are all upset because it was a statement about abortions. Utter failure.

Report: GOP rep says pregnancies from rape are rare

Why would there need to be an amendment to allow a rape or incest victim the right to have an abortion later than 20 weeks?

That's what he's talking about. This is over this new House bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks with the exception of a mother's demise if the pregnancy weren't terminated.

And now that a Judge has ruled and the White House has agreed that a female regardless of age can purchase the morning after pill over the counter, why would liberals worry about this at all?

Franks, a social conservative first elected in 2002, objected to a Democratic amendment that would make exceptions in cases of rape and incest.

"The incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low," Franks said, according to a transcript.

Franks tried to clarify later in the meeting. "But when you make that exception, there's usually a requirement to report the rape within 48 hours. And in this case that's impossible because this is in the sixth month of gestation.

And that's what completely negates and vitiates the purpose of such an amendment," according to The Post.

liberals worry about this because they want abortion on demand up until the moment of birth (and sometimes after). They are determined that the best method of birth control is to kill babies.

But these same hypocritical idiots get all up in arms about executing murderers.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

Actually, the vast majority of consensual sex doesn't lead to pregnancy either, Chris. So you actually think rape victims are more likely to get pregnant from rape? You're as dumb as the Republicans who think people are less likely to get pregnant, Chris.

Der de der der der........if I put this in a thread about raping and abortion....maybe nobody will notice. You know...hear bullshit often enough.....blah blah blah.......

My guess is that fertile women get pregnant at about the same rate whether the sperm was wanted by them or not.

Der de der der der.....

don't try billards.

 

[tinydancer]

Who cares now?

The President will not block the decision for any female regardless of age to have over the counter access to Plan B.

You get raped. OK.

Buy the morning after pill. Or hell's bells let's give it to a rape victim for free.

That's why this amendment isn't necessary for the new bill.

Says queen dirt...go post an opinion piece

 

[J.E.D]

It's rare.

How many pregnancies result from rape each year in the U.S.?

What does the percentage matter? Should rape victims who become pregnant with their rapist's child be forbidden from getting an abortion after 20 weeks just because it's a "rare" occurence?
