In reply to the discussion: Rep. Pete DeGraaf: Being Impregnated During a Rape Is Just Like Getting a Flat Tire [View all]AlbertCat
(17,505 posts)26. What has become abundantly clear is:
.... Repug men know NOTHING about women or what their "strange (to them, obviously) lives" are like or entail. They have no knowledge or seem capable of any kind of empathy toward what a woman might experience in (I assume) ANY sexual situation. Rape is an inconvenience to women in their minds. They are almost like Victorian men-of-power with autism when it comes to the subject of women.... in general, and women and sex in particular.
These incomplete humans should obviously never make any kind of decisions concerning women's health... and probably ANYBODY'S health.... this much is evident.
