Republicans on Rape: Updated

Some members of the Republican Party seem to have a real knack for putting their feet in their mouths when it comes to the subject of rape. Todd Akin's comment that women who are "legitimately raped" can somehow turn off their reproductive organs and not become pregnant not only reveals his disdain of women, it also reveals a profound lack of understanding of female anatomy and physiology. Does this fucking moronic jackass really believe the shit spewing out of his mouth? Then we have the comment made by Richard Mourdock that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen." So I'm to understand that if God really wants a woman to get pregnant, he might arrange for that to happen via rape. God so wants her to conceive and bear a child that he arranges for her to suffer the physical and psychological trauma of being raped. Am I to take it then that we shouldn't prosecute said rapist because he's doing the Lord's work? Did you suffer some sort of brain trauma as a child, Mr. Mourdock or are you as fucking stupid as the rest of your Republican brethren? In the Republican Party platform it states that they are against in vitro fertilization. So if a woman wants to have baby via this method, they won't let her do it. But if she gets pregnant as the result of being raped, she must carry her little gift from God to term. I find it difficult to believe that there are women that actually support the Republican Party but I guess some of them are that stupid. The Republicans' desire to have absolute control over females' reproductive choices borders on the pathologically misogynistic. Who gave these sick fucking jerk-offs the right to take away a woman's reproductive choices?

   I found a Daily Kos article that included a revised version of Republican Rape Advisory chart that was created by Connecticutie.
