West Virginia Republican says rape can be ‘beautiful’ if it produces a child

[AngryDem001]

Republican state lawmaker in West Virginia said on Thursday that while rape is horrible, it’s “beautiful” that a child could be produced in the attack.

According to Huffington Post, Charleston Gazette reporter David Gutman was on the scene when Delegate Brian Kurcaba (R) said, “Obviously rape is awful,” but “What is beautiful is the child that could come from this.”

Kurcaba made the remarks during a House of Delegates discussion of a law outlawing all abortions in the state after 20 weeks’ gestation. At 20 weeks, anti-choice activists and lawmakers allege, a fetus can feel pain and is therefore too viable to abort.

The bill was passed by West Virginia Republicans in 2014, but vetoed by Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. Now the state GOP has revived the bill and voted to remove an exception for victims of rape and incest.

I hate these woman-hating, knuckle-dragging, non-human monsters so much.

5. No, you ass. Rape is never beautiful, even if a baby born as a result of rape is beautiful.

What is it with Republican men and rape anyway, ffs?

6. That headline sucks because it isn't what was said.

His excuse making was repugnant enough without altering what he actually said. A crime, especially a violent one, can always have a "silver lining", but it in no way mitigates the crime. "Beautiful" modifies "child" not "rape."

Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

11. I think we all know he was trying to say babies are beautiful, however conceived, but he offered it

in the context of rape and denying the woman the right to decide how to deal with her condition. They just can't shut up about other people's bodies although 'freedom'.

14. You know, sometimes you read something someone says, and without wishing them actual harm,

you wish that they might be put into a position to morally test their views on the idiocy they just uttered.

This is one of those times for me.

15. Easy thing to say when you're not the one who would have to give birth to that baby.

If a woman got pregnant from a rape and she decided to keep the baby, would he support the state giving her financial assistance, health care and child care if she needed it?

If his wife had gotten pregnant from a violent rape would he really be willing to adopt that child and raise it as his own?
