Representative Doug Gilliam from South Carolina has enraged critics with his recent comments on a theoretical 12-year-old rape and incest victim. Responding in court to SC Republican Gil Gatchs statement that a hypothetical child victim who had been impregnated by her father would be forced to carry a pregnancy under the abortion ban, Gilliam responded that she had choices... the morning after pill was available... thats available in Walmart. If her dad rapes her and shes carrying the child, who drives her to get the morning after pill? Gatch asked Gilliam. The ambulance, Gilliam said. On Tuesday, South Carolina has passed a near-total abortion ban that doesnt allow children whore rape victims to get abortions at up to 20 weeks.

Listen to the video a couple times so you can really see they dont know what they are talking about.
PS: Not in a courthouse. The state legislature.
