This is why we can’t have nice things


Seriously guys, where’s your speech writers?  How about your office managers?  Wives?  Do you consult with anyone before you belt this nonsense out?

The Congressman that said pregnancies aren’t that common from rape as a justification for not providing protection rape, incest, and life of the mother in their latest neanderthal-esque attempt at controlling reproductive rights decided to raise money from his base by saying he won’t back down.

Then we have this gem rolling out today:

Texas Republican Congressman says…*sigh* that fetuses might be masturbating at 15 weeks, and therefore should be protected from abortion

I really, really wish I was making this stuff up.  I’m working on a piece that I feel strongly about, and these…*things* that slither into suits and call themselves representatives of the vox populi keep feeding me ammo.
