@raprap,

Actually what this rep is stating is that he feels that the state should pay for this program as education is supposed to be dealt with at the state level. Reading this I see he directly states that - he says I am not against subsidizing school lunches, but it should be subsidized at the state level.

Its more an arguement over who should pay for it federal or state - not whether they should have it or not.

@raprap,

Consevatives want you to be forced to have kids even if youve been raped but dont want to feed the kids. Christians are at it again.

@ossobuco,

I agree with you Ossobuco--I have a good friend, who happens to be a priest.

If the Big Kahuna takes an active interest in the semi-intelligent monkeys on this rock, it does it through people like John.

Senate Nominee: Victims Of ‘Legitimate Rape’ Don’t Get Pregnant

http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/todd-akin-legitimate-rape.php

Quote:

Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri who is running against Sen. Claire McCaskill, justified his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy.

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim.

All in all--the whole idea of this guy even being considered for the US Senate is GunjasnaKKKe crazy.

@raprap,

Did he possibly elaborate on those "unnamed biological defenses"? Sounds interesting.

@roger,

I'd be curious too - I mean what sort of doctor would say such a thing. I think I'm more worried about a doctor that thinks this rather than a rep (although it is scary for any adult to really believe such a thing).
