You women. Lying about being raped just to get an abortion. Shame.

[Fuzz]

At least that's what this Republican in Indiana thinks.

Indiana Republican's Disgusting Smear of Rape Victims and Women

As the GOP attempts to obliterate women's right to choose nationwide, it's become increasingly clear that this isn't just about abortion -- it's about sending women back to the Victorian age, when we were allowed no agency and only pedestalized as virgins or vilified as whores. In those days, of course, the virginal woman was seen as being controllable, easing men's deep mistrust of our inherently nefarious motives or wiles or whatever the hell they thought. It was an absurd notion meant to keep us down, and revoltingly, it's seeping back into the culture, permeating the minds of hyper-conservatives and poisoning the political discourse.

Case in point: Indiana State Rep. Eric Turner, Republican, went on record Tuesday saying the state's abortion laws should not have loopholes, because, quote, "someone who is desirous of an abortion could simply say that they've been raped or there's incest."

Furthermore, he disparages a bill that would allow abortions in cases of rape or incest by saying that it does not specify how to obtain "confirmation" of that.

3. It gets worse. Turner's amendment PASSED. It will almost certainly be signed into law ...

before it can be overturned on appeal.

4. This is disgusting and shows what they think of their wives and daughters.

5. But if abortions due to rape or incest are permitted, how will the teabaggers reproduce?
