Child Rape Victims Have 'Options' and Other Wild Things the GOP Says About Abortion
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June unleashed a wave of anger at the GOP and lawmakers who’ve been pushing to ban abortion for years.
It also unleashed some of the most unhinged takes on pregnancy, abortion, and how uteruses function that we’ve seen in quite some time.
Despite the fact that conservatives fought for decades for the decision they finally achieved in the Dobbs case, many Republican officials have struggled mightily to rationalize their abortion stances to constituents, some of whom are experiencing an America without Roe v. Wade for the first time.
During that time, state lawmakers have opined that women can control just exactly when men ejaculate and that child rape victims have “options” that aren’t abortion, while gubernatorial candidates and actual members of Congress explicitly compare abortion with genocide.
During a late-August hearing, South Carolina House legislators debated a complete ban on abortion. While lawmakers ultimately included exceptions for rape and incest in their proposed abortion ban, Republican Rep. Doug Gilliam complained about characterizing a child rape victim as being “forced” to carry her rapist’s baby, and suggested that such victims have “options,” such as Plan B.

WHAT????????? 
And how does one book a hypothetical ambulance to drive you somewhere to get Plan B?!
Either these people really are too stupid to breathe or they're just trolling us.
they have no understanding of the trauma of rape, especially when it happens to a child. they diminish it like it was no big deal. this infuriates me.
A.CHILD.GETTING.RAPED.IS.HORRIFYING.
GREG ABBOTT TALKS LIKE IT'S JUST A BOO-BOO THAT NEEDS A BAND-AID?
For chrissake. Picture the scenario: just skip on over to your nearest CVS drug store and ask the nice pharmacist for a plan B pill. Then go home and play with your dollies.
And now if *anybody* gets raped, they may not even have access to PReP and could wind up with HIV and be stuck with THAT for the rest of their lives.
These people are ghouls!
to wish that one of THEM gets raped? Not their wives or daughters, but one of THEM. One of these pompous, pious, idiocy-spouting MEN. Let them find out whether they can "control" things and just how it feels!
