Wingnut StupidityWhenever we start to elevate animals above humans, we've crossed a moral line. For example, when there's a sexual predator out there, who has impregnated a young girl, say a 13-year-old girl - and it happens in America more times than you or I would like to think - that sexual predator can take that girl off the playground of a middle school, and haul her across a state line, and force her to get an abortion to eradicate the evidence of his crime, and bring her back and drop her off at the swing set. And that's not against the law in the United States....Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. Since when is it not against the law to have sex with a 13 year old girl, or to kidnap her and take her across state lines? Really this fool thinks the laws against statutory rape, kidnapping, and crossing state lines to commit a crime are merely suggestions? He thinks that the abortion would eradicate her broken hymen,her testimony, the medical records and testimony of clinic staff and the cells containing his DNA that were removed from the girl? And finally he thinks that it can all be done in less time than her parents would notice her missing? I am temped to add that he thinks 13 year old girls hang out at swing sets in parks too.
