My response to "rape is a gift" Rick Santorum

7. Not sure how something so pretentious, inconsistent and hypocritical can

have any authenticity to it but let's say it does. It's still (just IMO) psychopathic, flippant, and seeks to control others to an extent that is humanely unacceptable. Rape, for that matter is a form of murder of an innocent person as well - they may not physically die but certainly that person (and women are persons) will never, ever exist again as she did before the rape. To flippantly say that intense emotional and physical damage - that violent theft of the woman's very humanity - should be compounded by subsequently forcing the woman to bear (and potentially raise) the resultant child, is just beyond inhumane.

It's odd that the woman's life, innocence, and pain is simply never considered in the minds of these control freaks. Pro-life my a$$. Pro *whose* life?

Why aren't these people over in Iraq taking care of all those orphaned children we created over there if they're so concerned about "innocent persons"? Because after they're born, they don't give a rat about them anymore. I find that - well, odd.

Nope. Doesn't add up. Except for one thing: they crave control over that which they have no business trying to control.

Ugh.
