Time for Repubs to put up or shut up about the Rape issue

That they fund a fund to do the following for every case of rape:

1. support the child born of rape for the rest of its life,
2. reimburse the woman for all care due to the rape and subsequent birth,
3. pay her for the emotional distress of rape,
4. give her priority for disability due to the rape, and
4. pay her for carrying it to term.

Oh and by the way- They don't tell doctors they can't do tubal litigations or hysterectomies, they just don't want to fill birth control prescriptions. I also haven't heard of them telling anyone they can't fertilize more than one egg at a time either (since freezing them could be considered cruel by some). Oh I forgot, that makes money for the hamster wheel of medical profits.

What? I Didn't think they would go for it, either.

Five of the seven bargaining units with AMR have agreed to new contracts during the bankruptcy proceedings, but the pilots and flight attendants have not.
