GOP Gov. Candidate: Rape Victims Shouldn't Get Abortions Because Fetus Could Become POTUS

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Garrett Soldano, a Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, faced widespread backlash after he argued against survivors of sexual assault getting abortions, saying they didn’t know if their unborn baby could become president.

Soldano, citing a friend whose mother was the victim of a gang rape, claimed people who become pregnant from sexual assault were put “in this moment” by God and that the DNA of the fetus should be protected.

“And so what we must start to focus on is not only to defend the DNA when it’s created, but, however, how about we start inspiring women in the culture to let them understand and know how heroic they are? And how unbelievable that they are?” he told conservative commentator April Moss on her “Face The Facts” podcast.

“That God put them in this moment and they don’t know that little baby inside them may be the next president, maybe the next person who changes humanity, may get us out of the situation in the future,” Soldano added, per a video of the conversation that Heartland Signal tweeted Monday. “We must always, always protect that DNA and allow it to have a voice.”

1. So G-d is pro rape ??

So his G-d is pro rape ?? And by extention pro pedophile rape. So the whole pizza gate thing was a misdirection ??

2. This reminds me of a B.C. comic strip.

Someone is asking God why he doesn't send us somebody to cure cancer. He answers, "I have, but you keep aborting them."

3. But ok to elect the rapist

4. Or! Maybe?

God lets one get raped for the 1/1,000,000 chance that the DNA will be a President rather than a rapist's serial-killer child whose first victim is Mom.

I can not believe that honoring rapist DNA is the best choice for defending your gods' (sic) quirkiness.

5. But, the rapist could be the Son of Satan. Do we want the

Grandson of Satan to become president?

That has already happened once (TFG).

6. I heard this in an argument against masturbation...

"You could be sending the next President down the toilet!"

The last one, I think we should have.

7. WHen he survives rape and can gestate a fetus,

he is more than welcome to CHOOSE to carry it to term.

Until then, my rare and typically fatal in labor and delivery heart condition (SCAD, 80% female, average age, 42, mine at 24) and I will CHOOSE for myself. Thanks.

9. Why does it seem

that when the right-wing/Republicans start really getting horny about overturning Roe V. Wade, their discourse inevitably degenerates to this point?

10. I wish these fuckers

Would just mind their own goddamn business! The creep factor with this one is strong. I mean this statement makes me want to break this guy in half "That God put them in this moment and they don't know that little baby inside them........" WTF does this mean?

The party that speaks all about morals (and rape is FUCKING IMMORAL) has no clue what real morals are all about. It is the choice of the person that has sadly gotten sexually assaulted to make up their own mind about what happens, not some asswipe GOP shit stain! Not some man, but the woman!

You know, if I actually believed in heaven and hell, I would say we are definitely in some weird and twisted level of hell. Years ago I would have wrote these statements off as humor, sick humor, but humor, but when the people saying them are being dead serious.............wow, my blood is rising!

11. Election years get entertaining

All the nut job candidates get a brief limelight, “Republican candidate for X wants a mandate a gun in every home” “Democratic candidate for X wants to abolish all police!”.

This Soldano guy doesn’t even register in the polls, looks like some Repugs named James and Craig are the actual contenders in their primary.

12. This is the kind of argument a 3rd grader would make.
