[TW: rape and incest] Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this … I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.
Chuck Winder, Idaho state senator, suggests women use rape as an excuse for abortion right before the Idaho Senate passed a bill which requires women to have an ultrasound prior to obtaining an abortion. The bill makes no exception for victims of rape, incest, or medical emergencies. (via rcabbasi)
Women just love lying about a rape, don’t they?

I’m seriously beginning to suspect that Republicans don’t know or understand that women can actually hear what they are saying - or in this case read it. Or that we do actually vote these days.

I’m actually convinced Republicans just think women are stupid and cannot understand what they are saying. That, or they just really fucking hate women. I’m thinking its the latter.

But haven’t you heard? Women are totally “emotionally capable” of carrying their rapist’s baby. Are they “emotionally capable” of serving in combat, though? Well that’s an entirely different issue. We don’t talk about that one.

i’d also like to tack on to the last post that just because a girl wears a dress/heels/skirt/or just attempts to look attractive in general at a show doesn’t mean she’s a fucking slut/trying to get with a band guy/etc. this may come as a shock, but guess what? some girls like to dress up sometimes. some girls like to dress up all the time. i wear heels or wedges all the fucking time, these days. when i go out, when i go to the store, when i walk the fucking dog. and guess what? i’m allowed to do that! and i’m especially allowed to do that without some fifteen year old girl side-eyeing me and calling me a slut as i pass by at a show whilst giggling to her friends(oh yeah, that’s happened, i can hear you you fucking idiots). i don’t give a shit that you’re wearing jeans and a t-shirt and no makeup, why do you give a shit about what i’m wearing? i’ve more than paid my dues in the pit, i have scars to prove it. don’t assume. i wish girls would focus less on slut-shaming each other and more on, oh, i don’t know, enjoying the band you paid to see.
