Force women to bear rapists’ babies, say multiple GOP candidates

Rachel Maddow asks why Democrats aren't making GOP extremism a national issue

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has been researching the positions on abortion held by current Republican candidates and believes that, overall, they are far more extreme than in any previous election year. She also wonders why the Democratic Party hasn't made an issue of this extremism.

"The Republican Party is, without actually talking about it, this year nominating a group of candidates for top-of-the-ticket races that are more extreme on the issue of abortion than any other slate of top-of-the-ticket candidates in any other year," Maddow stated on Thursday.

1. Oh, don't you know, it's because we're afraid...

We don't want to alienate our overlords.

:eyes:


We need to shout our anger over this issue from the goddamn rooftops. Their extremism bodes very poorly for the country if they take back any part of the Congress.

I don't believe they will, but we still need to take this issue to them, and to the public. We need to show them for the complete scumbags that they are.

I firmly believe that abortion is a medical issue, and that it should be discussed between a woman, her partner and her doctor, and nobody else. It should not be legislated.

:grr:

2. i want a dem to ask... after the rapist is out of jail, does he get visitation rights? nt

[Richard D]

3. Of course

It's only right. It's the woman's fault she put herself in the position to get raped. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[gratuitous]

13. Exactly

If a woman doesn't want to get raped, why does she go out in public with her vagina? If women would just leave those pesky things at home, there'd be no reason for men to rape them. It's so obvious where the fault lies here!

4. I agree.

This is just one extreme view they have, there are many, many more that need to be brought to the attention of the people in this country. Why the aren't constantly going after them is beyond me. Republicans are really good at making things up and attacking the democrats who then have to defend themselves against the attacks. Democrats could be using all kinds of clips of republicans saying things that are insane, but they don't do it! I keep seeing adds attacking the democrats for letting the Bush tax cuts expire, but not one add have I seen from democrats about why they need to expire, or that they want to keep the cuts on the middle class, but end them on the rich. Maybe it's just my area, but I would think they would be defending their position and not letting the republicans control this!

I also honestly think that if congress would have stayed in session to get things done instead of going on their "break", the people would have more faith in the democrats as the party "TRYING" to do what is best for the people, not letting politics get in their way! Rachel is right, they need to go on the attack not sit around and wait for the republicans to dominate the issues, and force the democrats to defend themselves when the republican smear machine attacks them! Get ahead of the republicans for a change and make "THEM" defend themselves!

5. Force Rapists to Carry there own Spawn

Thought I had read that getting an embryo Implanted is possible. It's just highly probable that the birth will result in his bleeding to death.

[Turbineguy]

6. Are they suggesting that

rapists are republicans and would therefore out-breed the rest?

[chrisa]

7. The GOP is full of angry misogynists.

[ljm2002]

8. That's why I insist on calling them "forced-birthers"...

...rather than "pro-lifers". "Forced-birthers" is a much more accurate description of them.

Gonna have a baby without a brain? Tough luck, it's God's will. Gonna have a defective child because of incest? God's will again. Gonna have a fourth baby when you can't feed the three you have? Tough, put it up for adoption already. Oh, you say there isn't much of a chance for your baby to be adopted as it is black? Well tough cookies, dear, shoulda kept yer legs shut. Now go and have that baby, my God demands it!

Yeah, these people are really pro-life. Not.

[Submariner]

9. Most rapists are obviously republicons so the GOP is just protecting their own spawn

How else would the teabaggers keep their population numbers up.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

14. I Think You'll Find That Most Teabaggers' Parents Are Related In Some Way Anyway

So they're really just keeping their membership numbers up.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. I want to express my opinion about these abominations in a post, but I can't.

Because, you know, I'd like to be able to visit the US in the future without being arrested on arrival. Not to mention keeping my DU account.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. As well they should, given their claimed moral stances

The rape/incest exception is absolutely indefensible, morally.

It is a cheap political compromise because it is the only position on abortion that gets over 50%.

But it is morally bankrupt.

If abortion s murder you do not murder children because of who their father is.

If abortion is not murder than you don't limit women's control over their own lives to extraordinary and repugnant circumstances.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

12. I Say We Give Them What They Want.........With One Caveat

Since THEY'RE the "Party of Personal Responsibility" and I'm all about giving people what they want (but making THEM take "Personal Responsibility" themselves), I say we give them what they want. Force those raped women to have those babies. But with one catch, and this could be true of ANY unwanted, would-have-been-aborted babies: once the baby is born, we consult a list of the people who support this legislation, and the baby is delivered to that person in a nice, comfy bassinet with the adoption papers (already finalized, of course) tucked neatly underneath. YOU wanted these babies to be born, so YOU take care of them. And don't bother asking for any government aid to help care for and raise your new child(ren). We're going to give you what you've been asking for in THAT regard as well and just slash ALL government assistance to parents of these adopted babies TOTALLY (not one thin dime for you or any of the other people pushing for this legislation). You want people to take personal responsibility. I say.........YOU FIRST. Do we have a deal?

[flvegan]

15. "Force women..." You know, I don't even care what issue follows those words.

Hateful shitwit zealots can go fuck themselves.

[pipi_k]

16. Force women to eat as much chocolate whenever they want to...

That's one I could go with...

17. These sick, evil scumbuckets!

:grr:

[felix_numinous]

18. Yes, rich republicans have abortions!

They call it a D & C, and the records are altered to leave out the details....been going on for decades!

I wish this fact could be exposed, but the fanatics would move in and ban this too.

You KNOW a republican with means would arrange this for a daughter to keep the reputation.

They just want poor women to bleed to death and die, but don't come out and say it. They have totally lost it--anyone outside the 'chosen ones' are little more than animals to them.

[ismnotwasm]

19. She makes a good point

Although forcing women to bear ANY 'babies' is extremism as well.

[felix_numinous]

20. Yes--the women's movement has lost their dialogue somewhere.

The discussion has now degraded into whether or not women should bear rapist babies. Women should not be baited into dignifying this discussion AT ALL.

The real argument is about women being autonomous human beings. Period. We are not second class citizens. RW fanatics want to take civil rights away from everyone but heterosexual white men.


Under RW rulership, human rights would virtually disappear. They are trying to reframe all the issues into a more primitive form, this is a good example of that.
