Women! It's your job to prepare for your rape!

[Logic]

From Pharyngula

Kansas representative Pete DeGraaf is fighting for a bill that would exclude abortion coverage in cases of rape. He thinks the state should stay out of that problem, and it should just be something that women "plan ahead for":

Bollier asked him, "And so women need to plan ahead for issues that they have no control over with pregnancy?"
DeGraaf drew groans of protest from some House members when he responded, "I have a spare tire on my car." "I also have life insurance," he added. "I have a lot of things that I plan ahead for."

You heard the man, ladies. You should all just get organized and make plans now for the aftermath of your rape. Maybe set up a cookie jar in the kitchen and tuck a dollar bill in it now and then, as your rainy day rape abortion fund. Your supportive boy friends and spouses can cheerfully contribute, too, and if you're a member of a lesbian couple, you could have a matching pair (for cute!). Get one for your daughters, too, and start them on saving a little bit every year — after all, young girls get raped, too, so you might as well make it a regular feature of their lives.

By the way, the compassionate Pete DeGraaf is also an associate pastor. I am not surprised.

My bold. Feel that Christian compassion

It's OK ladies, simply risk your life getting a back yard abortion like in the 'good old days' and it's all covered, and you get your dignity as a human back from self empowerment...... NOT!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr... That fucker is lucky I wasn't in arm's reach when he said it. Your right to be a presumptuous, self-important fucktard stops at the end of my impulse control centre.

Remember Amercians, he was the one people voted for

I don't mind this idea, as a form of protest - SPARE LINK:

I hope he receives millions of them - after all, you can never be too prepared, can you...

The pastor's approach completely lacks any sort of humanity or compassion fo the victims. And that's putting it extremely mildly.

[CoachPedro]

That is one of the most disgusting things I've heard in quite sometime.

Morals from the bible hey?

I think they're only symbolically sending him the teenyweeny matchbox-sized tyres. I would totally send them $5 if I thought they were actually going to drive a truck up to his house and dump some real tyres in his front yard.

Now that sounds more like it, and if it's 5$ the expression on the good pastor face, pricele$$. Oh and used tires to boot that way they also cost $ to dispose of.

I wonder how much he's put aside for treatment for when HE gets raped. It's nobody else's fault should he get AIDS after being butt-fucked by a random stranger while he's walking home.

I wish I could draw.. I'd picture him bent over a spare tyre in a park, getting raped with the caption "It's always a good idea to carry a spare tyre"

Pete DeGraaf = American Taliban

Why doesn't he just throw acid in women's faces and be done with it?
