"Abortion is not going to heal a rape victim" - Matt Birk.
The ex-Viking all-pro center is running for Lt-Guv of Minnesota under Fascist Scott Jensen's anti-choice Puke campaign.
Fuck Matt Birk and everything he stands for.

(1,893 posts)Abortion wont heal a rape victim, but forcing birth on her will?
I doubt the former offensive lineman ever got raped himself.
He knows more about football than he does womens issues, thats for sure.
Im not sure if *anything* can heal a rape victim, but forcing her to carry her fetus to term is just another painful reminder.

Birk GOPers appear to be pro-rape.

(7,365 posts)It's not about "healing a rape victim" it is about giving the WOMEN the RIGHT to OWN her OWN fucking body and deciding to NOT carry a maggot fucking rapist's baby to term. She MAY NOT even be an evangelical Christian. Whether she is or is not, IT'S HER GODDAMN business and NOT yours, mine or ours.

(1,962 posts)There were a number of factors that led into that - growing tired of football-crazed fans, and of course the head injuries and CTE. But up near the top is seeing just how damned right-wing so many people involved with the game are. Whether it's homophobia from players, racism from the owners, and how many scumbags like Birk and Steve Largent run as Republicans and ruin this country, it seems we can count on football to push their MAGA shit.
I know there is a lot of it in sports - money, toxic masculinity... But feels like the NFL is up there with NASCAR.
I'm just waiting for the first anti-"groomers" rant from Footbaw Man this fall.
So, fuck Matt Birk, who was always an asshole. I'm not surprised one bit by this shit, but... Fuck him anyway.

(758 posts)So perfectly spoken. Your reply could be an OP on its own.
From what I gather, Jensen/Birk are trailing in the polls but we both know turn-out will decide all elections.
I love your writing style. Please do an op on this subject in general forum, if you have time.
