Rep Ted Franks Republican-Pregnancy from rape and incest Low

Ted Franks Republican-Pregnancy from rape Low

“The incidents of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low,” Franks, R-Ariz., said during a Judiciary committee markup of his legislation today as he expressed his opposition to a Democratic amendment to allow exceptions for rape and incest.

“When you make that exception, there’s usually a requirement to report the rape within 48 hours and, in this case, that’s impossible because this is in the sixth month of gestation and that’s what completely negates and vitiates the purpose of such an amendment.”

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who's apparently grown a little sensitive to talk about the, Republican war on women threw a bit of a tantrum on the House floor during the legislative debate.

Republicans For Rape?

Missouri Republican Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Republicans for Legitimate Rape

Republican Rep Paul Ryan, "Ryan co-sponsored legislation with Todd Akin to limit federal funding for abortion to victims of ‘forcible rape’ - as if there is any other kind of rape?"

Wisniewski is correct that Ryan and Akin co-sponsored legislation in July 2010 and January 2011 that, as originally written, limited federal funding for abortions to pregnancies resulting from "forcible rape" and certain other circumstances.

Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person's consent.

The Republicans have a serious problem with respect for women and the rights of women, since the result of the 2010 Elections the Republicans have established, "a War on Women and the rights of Women" this will result in part of the President winning the Election on November 6th 2012 with a vast majority of the women's vote.

I used to get alarmed when Republican Politicians say derogatory and dangerous things about women.Then Republicans create policies, supporting the Private sector denying women equal rights in the work place and table Laws that deny women the right to Birth control, cancer screening the right to make an independent informed decision in the case of Rape or incest.

Republicans for Forcible Rape 

Paul Ryan the former Republican Vice President Nominee co-sponsored a Bill in Congress re-defining Rape as "forcible Rape" that means a woman rejecting sexual contact by saying, No! is no longer enough if the man forces himself on her. If a man forces himself on her against her will, she would have to prove her un-approval in Court of Law.
