GOP official says God chooses to bless raped women with pregnancy
« on: August 22, 2012, 07:01:57 pm »
Sharon Barnes, a high ranking state Republican, came to the defense of her conservative colleague who she believes only "phrased it (his statement) badly."

Barnes was quoted by The New York Times saying, "abortion is never an option." Barnes went on to biblically claim that, "If God has chosen to bless this person [the rape victim] with a life, you don’t kill it."

Barnes did not elaborate on her views for post-pregnancy care, or costs.

Okay guys I'm tapping out now. Will someone who lives in a better country like say Canada or Denmark or even Finland come kidnap me and take me to a better place?  This is just soooo f-ing stupid!

Damn, another one? I hope this one gets just as much media attention. Expose how dumb and fundamentalist these out-of-touch fuckers think their constituents are. The GOP doesn't really give a rat's ass about abortion or the value of human life, otherwise their platform would be something besides "let the poor and sick die." They just pretend to care to win over fundies. They would shit their pants if Roe v Wade was seriously overturned, homosexuality was Constitutionally banned, and Christianity was made the state religion because then they wouldn't have anything to rally their base with.

The GOP just keeps digging themselves deeper, don't they?

Who wants to bet one of them will say the N-word next?

It's like they're having a competition over who can say the single most ignorant, insensitive, utterly moronic thing about rape.

Quoted for fucking truth.

And anyway, it's clear that they aren't really "Christian" in any meaningful sense, since letting the poor and sick die is probably the last thing Jesus would have wanted.

*reads the OP*

*stares in disbelief for a long moment*

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus FUCKING Christ!! What the FUCK is wrong with those bastards?!
"God blessed them with a child" Noooooo.... the RAPIST forced himself on the woman and you bastards want to force her to carry an unwanted child to term so it can either grow up in a family that resents it, possibly in very poor conditions, OR you want the child to be one of THOUSANDS already in an overflowing population of kids who jump from home to home, live on and off the streets, experience abuse and turn to a life of crime!

I hope this bullshit doesn't spread to Canada...

And just how deep are they digging you ask? Let's go to our reporters in the field and find out.

First up we have Steve and Boom-boom the creeper. Steve, how long ago did the pass your location?

Steve: They passed us days ago travelling at an speed I can't begin to calculate.
Boom-boom: They punched right through the bedrock layer like it wasn't even there.

Thank you Steve. Now to our next correspondent, Satan.

Satan: The story here is much like that of Steve and Boom-boom. We saw the bust through the roof and we tracked them until they went all the way through the floor. They were travelling like a bat out of hell.

Thank you, Satan. Now to Ai-li in China.

Ai-li: We saw them burst from the ground and shoot off into the sky. Our radar systems lost track of them somewhere past the moon.

Thank you, Ai-li. Now to Ollie Williams with sports...
