Idaho Republican: ‘I Don’t Think Women Even Know What Rape Is’

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Idaho Republican Chuck Winder. Winder is the sponsor of that state’s “Double Ultrasound Bill,” which would require women to have an ultrasound before they can access any abortion services. These ultrasounds would be offered “free of charge,” but women would have to have them performed at an anti-choice crisis pregnancy center, where anti-choice operatives would do their best to talk women out of terminating their pregnancies. Then, if the woman decides to go through with the termination, she would have to fork over the cash for a second ultrasound, which would be performed by the abortion physician.Now, Winder is wondering whether women, mindless, fragile women, are capable of knowing what rape even is. Addressing his detractors — women’s groups who claim his double ultrasound law traumatizes women who are the victims of rape and incest, and for whom there are no exceptions — Winder wondered in March of this year:

“Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this. I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.”

Good reason not to allow government anywhere near our health care

Sure but their supporters alone won't get them over the hump.

My doctor takes care of my health care. Do you of anyone going to a government office for theirs?

While I may not agree with the good ole' boy politics that dominate much of Idaho that's a really unfair generalization of the people of Idaho. Several important and highly intelligent people came from Idaho that have changed the face of this nation.

No I don't understand please explain.. I may want to apply some of your stereotyping rules the next time someone that is Democratic, black, female, or Muslim does something stupid and someone has the gall (not you of course) to say "Don't blame the whole for the actions of a few".

And you guys are prattling on about an imaginary statement.

That's Steven and Big Dog's Forté, and look how well you play into their hands.

Big Dog made no claims.. He just chose the moment to degrade people based on the area of the planet they live on.

Why are you putting Romney's picture on there?

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Why are you putting Romney's picture on there?

Yes, because debating the real Romney is beyond your capability.

[james&olya 1,121]

Yes, because debating the real Romney is beyond your capability.

Probably beyond anyone's capability. Who is the real Romney anyway? Does even he know? You can't have a debate with an empty suit!!!
