Bubba Carpenter, Mississippi GOP Lawmaker, Lauds Potential Return Of 'Coat Hanger' Abortions
The Huffington Post | By Nick Wing Posted: 05/15/2012 2:34 pm Updated: 05/15/2012 2:41 pm

Republican Mississippi state Rep. Bubba Carpenter recently gave a callous assessment of a state anti-abortion law that critics have cautioned could close down the state's only abortion clinic.

Abortion rights advocates have protested the measure, claiming that the shuttering of the facility -- brought on by potentially overwhelming certification requirements for practicing physicians -- could force women to turn to dangerous alternatives. This prospect didn't seem to concern Carpenter.

"You have the other side. They're like, 'Well, the poor pitiful women that can't afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger.' That's what we've heard over and over and over," Carpenter told an Alcorn County GOP meeting in a video flagged by Rachel Maddow's blog. "But hey, you have to have moral values. You have to start somewhere, and that’s what we've decided to do."

[tk2kewl]

[sakabatou]

6. George Carlin said it best

"They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women.They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state."

[kristopher]

22. +1

[Suji to Seoul]

35. Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion

are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?

meh, my late mum worked for the county wealfare ( i aint saing which one ), witnessed many "coat hanger abortions ". how could someone wish this on someone . for someone who hasnt seen one , ( coat hanger abortions ) arnt pretty. for the ones watchin or for the participant . just down right sadistic . since this is family oriented . ill keep other thoughx to myself .my late mum wittnessed many . what a jerk.

[fasttense]

8. Women are already dying because access to abortion has been so restricted.

There was a study a couple of years ago that indicated the number of women dying from back alley abortions and coat hangers have significantly increased in Pennsylvania. I can't seem to find it now.

So Bubba has no problem with all those women dying. That's what finally led to Roe v Wade decision. So many women were dying that juries would NOT convict doctors who helped them. Everyone knew a woman or girl found in a pool of blood or dead in her bed after a back alley abortion. I guess Bubba just wants to see millions of dead and maimed women to have moral values.

[bluedeminredstate]

9. Idiot!

It's not about "moral values" at all. It's a Constitutionally-protected, LEGAL procedure that women don't need to clear his moral hurdles to obtain. I wonder if he'd like someone to take a coat hanger to his daughter or granddaughter. Or better yet to his scrotum...

[lark]

14. Nah, he needs to be Babbitted

Since reproductive organ health is of no consequence, who would miss that tiny little insignificant thing anyway?

Mean and vicious response deserved by mean and vicious and woman hating man.

[KamaAina]

16. I don't know of anyplace in Mississippi that specializes in microsurgery

he might have to go down to Tulane or LSU in New Orleans.

[Ken Burch]

17. I think you meant's "Bobbitted"

"Babbitted" would just mean somebody wrote a harshly brilliant novel about Bubba and the folks in his town.

[HockeyMom]

10. Women are just incubators

What state is it that doctors will be gagged from telling a woman that her pregnancy might kill her? She might ABORT to save her own life!!!!! That even includes where the fetus has no choice of survival. Women mean nothing to them.

The mindset behind that is clearly obvious.

[Roland99]

11. Richard Dawkins would like to have a little chat w/that fuckwad re: "moral values"

[diane in sf]

12. He should have the first one except *sshole babies never survive.

[iandhr]

13. As sicking as this is...

... at least he is honest about his misogyny. Better when its out in the open easier to confront

[LadyHawkAZ]

15. You first, Bubba.

I'll bring the coathanger and the popcorn.

[radhika]

18. Women are half the population - yet these types of men keep getting elected n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

27. because too many women...

vote against their own interests.

[nolabear]

19. So, when you have them by the uteri, their hearts and minds will follow?

Ain't happened yet, Bubba. Ask the womenfolk. They all know. If they'll talk to you, that is.

[lsewpershad]

20. Hope

his wife, daughter, sister never need an abortion.

[coalition_unwilling]

38. Don't know how wealthy this fuckwad is, but back in pre-Roe v. Wade days, the

wealthy would jet to the UK or Canada to get abortion services.

[valerief]

21. Guess where I'd like to stick a coat hanger in him. nt

[secondwind]

23. Let's see how many children are born that are not wanted, and what their

fate will be....

[Dont call me Shirley]

25. Shudder at the thought

[Dont call me Shirley]

24. Whatcha gonna do when ya git yer concubine pregnint, Bubba?

[marble falls]

[CBHagman]

Something tells me Mr. C.'s going to be hearing from a lot of angry female constituents.

[crunch60]

42. Thanks for the link

[47of74]

29. Well I was going to call him a fucking pig

But that would be insulting to fucking pigs.

[Suji to Seoul]

30. Anyone named Bubba should be instantly disqualified from holding or running for public office

Only in the South do you see Republican Pols named "Bubba" or "Skeeter" or "Junior."

Why did we fight the Civil War again?

[peace frog]

31. But but but!!!!

There is no GOP war on women!!1111

[ehrnst]

32. They love the thought of it - the gorier the fate of "those" women, the better.

Hell, it's like a horror movie where the horny teen gets axed after making out.

They can point to them, recite the bloody details of their death while licking their lips, and say, "let that be a warning to you gals."

[crunch60]

34. I am going to give Bubba Carpenter a moniker."The Coat Hanger Butcher"

The absolute and astounding cesspool of the GOP. Bend over Bubba, cause I have a hanger with your name on it.!

[hobbit709]

37. Methinks Bubba needs a double orchidectomy without benefit of anesthesia.

40. That would definitely be the 'moral' thing to do here.

It is certainly not in the service of anyone's morals for this person to reproduce.

[Mc Mike]

41. Another 'pro-life' repug heard from.

[Brigid]

43. So, Bubba -- got a question for you:

What do you have planned for the men who got these women pregnant? Despite what you and your ilk seem to think, no woman ever got pregnant by herself.

BTW, has anyone sent this to Rachel Maddow yet?

[CBHagman]

44. Laura Conaway has something on the Maddow Blog.
