A new expression...

.."ad hoc hypothesis". It's a hypothesis added to a theory to save the theory's validity...something like that. For GOP politicians, it's simply a nonsensical, irrational, rationalization to justify an obscene piece of legislation put in place solely for a GOP opportunist's political benefit...

Texas' Abbott said the 6 week cap on abortions resulting from rape won't be a problem for victims because Texas is going to eradicate incidences of rape...gonna' go after all the rapist and put 'em jail. Yeah, just arrest all the sicko perverts who have a sign hanging around their necks saying, "Hello...I am a rapist."

And apparently he thinks abortions can be made unnecessary simply by arresting and prosecuting all rapists before they rape anybody, and I don't know how that's supposed to work, since if a man has never raped anybody he's not a rapist, and if he has and the woman gets pregnant it's too late.

Abbott is a malicious idiot, but we knew that...
