If Rep. Cynthia Davis' definition of sex is right, Plog has been doing it wrong.
Here's Davis, in her latest mass e-mail condemning the option of abortion for women in the military -- or any woman, for that matter:
Pregnancies don' t happen by accident. They happen by intentional acts between a man and a woman creating an irreversible, eternal, transcendental bond. You can't separate the body from the soul. For every baby that was conceived, there is a mother and a father who joined their hearts and souls.
Aw, Cynthia. That's actually kind of cute. Clearly she's never seen one of Nelly's music videos. But of
course, the O'Fallon Loon's warm, giant heart goes ice cold in the next
paragraph.
If your sacred, eternal, double-rainbow-shooting union was somehow not all it was cracked up to be -- if you were raped by a relative, let's say -- Davis still stands by her bread and butter "body and soul" morals.
Remedying incest with abortions revictimizes those woman. Those who are ushered onto the operating table are made available for more abuse. The men who coerce women to abort their baby treat these women like sexual objects or prostitutes.Davis likens military personnel who get pregnant to thieves, liars, and cheaters. "Why?" she asks herself, right before you do. "Because character is foundational to job performance." Whatever that means.
