.@delegateskinner says this is an incredibly narrow exception & only deals with a 2 week time period. It's time to do something moderate.

This comes on the heels of this:

West Virginia Del. Brian Kurcaba (R) apologized Friday for a comment he made last week that pregnancy from rape could be "beautiful."

“I apologize to anyone who took my comments about the sanctity of human life to mean anything other than that all children are precious regardless of circumstances,” Kurcaba said in a statement Friday afternoon, according to WV Metro News. “It is unfortunate that only portions of my statement were publicized resulting in misrepresentation.”

Kurcaba's initial comment was made during a committee hearing on a new abortion restriction.

"Obviously rape is awful," Kurcaba said on Feb. 5. "What is beautiful is the child that could come from this."

These men view her as a perambulating flowerpot with no civil rights of her own. All rights belong to the fetus.
