AUDIO– Washington State Congressional candidate: “The rape thing” not a reason to get an abortion

“But on the rape thing, it’s like, how does putting more violence onto a woman’s body and taking the life of an innocent child that’s a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?”

I want to scream.

Via KOMO news:

An activist working on behalf of liberal group FUSE Washington asked questions of Republican hopeful John Koster during a Sunday fundraiser.

Hey, come on, that “rape thing” isn’t so bad, relatively speaking. I mean, what’s the big deal? Why should a woman who has been the victim of a traumatic, invasive, violent crime make her devastation and her decisions about her own body the issues?

There’s a zygote at stake here, to hell with the living, breathing woman who just had some vile monster jam his penis into her unwilling body and make her pregnant. So what if she has to live with that flashback the rest of her life? Why not add to the indignity and suffering by also forcing her to give birth to the rapist’s child?

Rape thing, schmape thing.

John Koster is running against Democrat Suzan DelBene. Let’s hope like hell she wins.

    “I hear people talk about this thing called ‘rape’ — not sure exactly what it is or how it works … or if it even really exists, but whatever it is, it’s no excuse for getting an abortion.  Because I once met a woman who was supposedly (legitimately?) raped, and she kept the baby, and so based on that isolated anecdotal experience, I feel confident that all women would or should feel the same way.”
