DeGraaf, who clearly thinks about women first, offered this bone to women: They could purchase separate "abortion-only policies." What a generous and considerate man he is. So concerned about women was DeGraff that he argued: "We do need to plan ahead, don't we, in life? ... I have a spare tire on my car."
DeGraaf actually compared a rape pregnancy to blowing out a tire. Plan ahead for rape? Shameful. This is all a reminder that on Friday, the state of Kansas will be defending its new law restricting insurance coverage for abortions (via KAKE).
The state is responding to the ACLU's lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law, which it argues discriminates against women by preventing them from purchasing insurance coverage for all of their health needs, unlike men.
Kansas argues that it has a right to protect human life, which I'm sure they'd argue begins at penetration. Of course, Brownbackistan favors childbirth over abortion — even in the case of rape or a medical emergency.
All of this is about restricting women's access to a legal medical procedure.

So that's your answer? "Well, they kill more people than we do, and besides, uh, shit happens."
Fuck you. Take your sanctimonious pseudo-morality and shove it up your goddamn ass. If you're an example of what Jesus has to offer, fuck him too.
In reply to Skylar Rexwinkle: When someone signs up for military service, part of the deal is that THE 18 YEAR OLD ADULT signing the paper agrees to put his/her life on the line for the rest of us. In reply to Realist: Death of civilians by US/NATO forces are a tiny fraction of the number of deaths caused by the leaders of foreign countries ON THEIR OWN PEOPLE. That's kind of why we are at war with them. When cowards hide behind women and children sometimes a bullet goes through the wrong person. If you can do better, let me know. Lastly, the point being, if you keep your dick in your pants, and panties on, and you don't HAVE TO KILL the thing living in your uterus that just happens to be human. It's part of the "Save the parasites" campaign. Haven't you seen the posters? Truth be told, you care more about shelter dogs than you do your own "parasitic" child.
"The libs" -- that's rich. Yeah, you wingnuts have us dead to rights. If we can push this through, it'll be weekly abortion parties from now on.
Here's a clue. An acorn is not a tree. A zygote is not a child. And a rightwing nut with an invisible sky daddy is not a thinking rational being.
I made the choice to have an abortion 6 years ago. A few points to be said about it.
-At 6 weeks it was still merely a large ovum (egg), only a few centimeters larger than an egg women ovulate every month during their period. Everyone is always going on about these eggs being a creature that cries, breathes, has feelings, ect. Let's face it, was that tampon crying when you pulled it out? No. What's next, eliminate ovulation because it is gets rid of a potential child?
-I was only 17, the sperm donor, my boyfriend at the time, was 17 as well. I was getting high everyday, binge drinking on the weekends, smoking cigarettes, occasional other drugs- PERFECT candidate to be carrying a baby. Not.
-Luckily, I was under my parent's insurance (who still don't know about this) and it covered elective 1st term abortions, and special case 2nd and 3rd term. The procedure was done in Kansas.
-Today, I am so thankful nobody was foolish enough to pass a law to take away a woman's rights. If they want to be ignorant and give teenagers like I was the opportunity to be an unfit parent and unfit carrier, so be it. But sadly it's at the babies expense.
-Lastly, I just wish congressmen would stay out of people's very personal and very sensitive rights and not mix church with state. If that's the case, then is it ok to sell my daughter into slavery, like the bible says? Not work on Sunday? Stone people?
Does what I choose to eat for dinner effect your life in any way? No. Does your grandma dying effect my life in any way? No. Does my decision to get an abortion effect your life in any way? No.
So let it be.
Yeah, you'll notice that none of these "oh-so-moral" assholes have any problem with all the little Japanese babies the USA barbequed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Personally, I think it's guilt - they're unable to reconcile reality with their bullshit belief system, so they simply block it all out. All this "anti-abortion" horseshit is nothing more than posturing trying to avoid facing up the fact that they're exactly the same sort of murderous scumbags they accuse everybody else of being.
@jack you're just a prick. And remember, it's perfectly alright to kill an innocent child as long as it's done in the name of 'freedom' and that child is from the middle east. If we actually knew the number of innocent women, men and children killed overseas by NATO & U.S. troops...but that's alright, it's for freedom!
Rape accounts for about 1% of abortions. Careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water : )
the pitch makes great free bonfire kindling. its like abortion, kill it before its read, since its only a bunch of letters in a certain configuration
Wow, the libs are really going after this one. The Pitch has it's fangs out. They are blaming it on the "rape" instance but what they are really after is "abortion at will". After all, an unborn child is just " a cluster of cells". Justin, your mother should have went in and had an elective medical procesure done when you were just "a cluster of cells". I've never heard anything so asanine in all my days as the way you justify the killing of an unborn child. If it was rape, what did the baby do that was so wrong? Why kill it? Why don't you advocate the right to bear arms so the mother could have blown the rapists head off? You libs have it all backwards, man.
@Jack - so you're saying it's ok to rape a woman and force her to have your rape baby? or it's ok to force a woman to risk the death of herself and her baby during a high-rish pregnancy, instead of just aborting it while it's still an embryo (a cluster of cells) and try again? Women's rights should not be left up to men that are Associate Pastors and mixing church and state. Early term abortion is not the same as a man killing his child. You can argue all you want, but it's not. There is a huge difference between an embryo and a fetus, I agree that there should be restrictions on late-term abortions, but it's the woman's right to choose with early-term when it's still an embryo and is a cluster of cells that has no feeling or even resembles a human.
When you advocate to uphold a woman's right to kill her own child, I suggest you include a man's right to kill his child too. If abortion is considered "preventative mental health," why do we exclude the same consideration for men? Where's the equal rights? Everywhere we see a push for equal rights. Equal work, equal pay. Damn it, man! I want to pull a glock on my 2 month old because IT is a "severe mental health problem," and I can't prevent it! Stupid people consider it murder. Damn moral and ethical people! Who would have thought? ... Sarcasm, or am I a murderer? You figure it out.
