The problem with rape....

...is that women just don't plan ahead for the consequences.  It's like insurance or a spare tire--just be more prepared.  So a pastor from Kansas says no abortions should be provided for women who have been raped.  You may call him a douchebag, but you certainly can't call him Christian, compassionate, or aware that karma is coming for him.  I can't say it better than this.  (excerpted below the transcript)

Rep. Pete DeGraaf, a Mulvane Republican who supports the bill, told her: “We do need to plan ahead, don’t we, in life?”
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.”

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?

You know what, DeGraaf? I bet if someone jumped out from behind your car today and raped you, you wouldn't have a fucking plan in place for that. You wouldn’t have a spare tire for your ass while someone mercilessly held you down and disregarded your humanity.

You send the message that rape, like home repair and health physicals, are TO. BE. EXPECTED. Rape away, fuckers, because she’s with State Farm.

It's amazingly awful that there are men who have this attitude.  And get elected.  And spew their vile nonsense into a microphone.  Fuck you, DeGraaf.  And for those who agree with him (or don't disagree with him), rape is NOT okay.  It's not her fault.  She didn't ask for it.  She couldn't and shouldn't be expected to prevent it.  Fuck all ya'll.
