C'mon Kansas.. banning insurance companies that offer abortion coverage? Fuck you. Abortion is legal!! No women goes around hoping to be in that position, but things happen in life.. and last time I checked women did NOT get pregnant without the help of a man (unless it was a medical procedure, and even then a man had to provide something to make that happen.) But it's almost always the men that are deciding what happens with our bodies.

The flat tire comment is something I'd heard before from that crowd. Not shocking considering who said it. Who thought it was a good idea to elect an extremist pastor to office???
