going to bed now

But I just had to share this gem from 9 Lies Republicans Tell About Women's Bodies:

The odds that a woman who is raped will get pregnant are "one in millions and millions and millions," said state Rep. Stephen Freind, R-Delaware County, the Legislature's leading abortion foe

Hang on, how would that even work? Like... does your endocrine system get an email alert if sexual contact goes on for longer than ten seconds without your consent? For that matter, what does he think happens in situations of dubious consent, or statutory rape?

...Hang on, I'm over-thinking this. Clearly this is the work of the Spermicide Fairy.

You dare mention science? Science has no place in this discussion! And there is no such thing as dubious consent or statutory rape! In fact, there's no such thing as rape at all! It's just a lie told by sluts with "buyer's remorse"! So many good men have suffered because of this! OH WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ!!!

Yes, you are over-thinking. Regards to the Spermicide Fairy from the Homicide Fairy. ;)

Whenever I run across folks like these nutjobs I just want to bang my head against the wall in disgust.

Then I want to bang their heads against the wall. Repeatedly. Hard.

It used to be a commonly held belief in Britain that pregnancy could only occur if both male and female climaxed, therefore it was impossible for a woman to get pregnant from being raped. A commonly held belief IN THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY. Nice to see how forward thinking these types are.
