Maine Republican regrets saying men should rape women if abortion is legal
A Republican state lawmaker from Maine says he regrets making decades worth of offensive comments about gays, rape, and abortion that were compiled recently by a liberal activist.
Blogger Mike Tipping dug up several offensive comments made by state Rep. Lawrence Lockman (R-Amherst) from old news reports he posted on the Bangor Daily News website, which has spurred Democratic calls for the lawmakers resignation.
In one of the quotes posted on the blog, Lockman falsely suggested HIV and AIDS could be spread by bed sheets and mosquitos, and he also said the progressive movement helped spread the virus by claiming the practice of sodomy is a legitimate alternative lifestyle, rather than a perverted and depraved crime against humanity...
If a woman has (the right to an abortion), why shouldnt a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? Lockman said. At least the rapists pursuit of sexual freedom doesnt (in most cases) result in anyones death.*

*A new defintion of liberty and freedom! He really does respect 'the rapists pursuit of sexual freedom,' no?
And his statement, "why shouldnt a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? sounds like the voice of experience to me!
'Liberal bloggers' should make sure this goon in Virginia 'regrets' this...
