Top GOP congressman brags about making rape victims have babies

Steve Scalise spoke with pride about voting for a bill that would have forced 12-year-old rape victims to give birth.
Minority Whip Steve Scalise, the second-highest ranking Republican in the House, bragged about his support for banning abortion without making exceptions for women or girls who become pregnant as a result of rape.
During a Tuesday press conference, a reporter asked Scalise whether he supported Alabama's new anti-choice law — an extreme piece of legislation that outlaws abortion at every stage of pregnancy, even in cases of rape or incest.
Scalise began by saying that he was "proud" to come from Louisiana because it is often rated as the "most pro-life state in the nation."
"When I served in the [Louisiana] state legislature, we had a bill to protect people and say that abortion should be illegal, and we had an exception for the life of the mother, and I voted for that bill when I was in the state legislature," Scalise said.
