West Virginia GOP Bros Invent New Kind Of Rape: The ‘Legal’ Kind





Amirite fellas?

Oh, gee, is it that time of year again already? The time of year when some Republican dude opens his vomit-hole and spews some terrible words about rape? Let’s check our calendar:


Aw, that’s nice. Rape is awful, obvs, but rape babies are soooo the best, so let’s ban abortion in West Virginia:

The West Virginia House of Delegates began moving a bill Thursday to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The bill is very similar to one that was passed last year, only to be vetoed by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.

The bill is one of 11 introduced so far this legislative session that seek to restrict women’s access to abortion.

Do the Republican menfolk in the West Virginia House of Delegates have any other terrific fresh thoughts on rape? Sure they do, according to Charleston Gazette reporter David Gutman:

We are well-versed in the various kinds of rape Republican dudes have invented in the tiny clump of cells that are their brains: legitimate rape, honest rape, easy rape, forcible rape, gift-from-God rape, “Is it really rape if it’s your wife?” rape, et cetera and UGH.

However, “legal rape”? Pretty sure that’s a new one. Maybe Del. Matthew Rohrbach is thinking of the term “statutory rape” — which is still illegal, by the way, in case you didn’t know. But given that these insights were offered by Republican men during a hearing to justify making it Not Legal for ladies to have abortions if they are more than one second into puberty, we are not going to give Rohrbach the benefit of the doubt whatsoever, sorry, nope.

Oh, is there even more terrible that came out of this hearing? Why yes, there is, because Republican dudes were talking about rape and abortion and lady health care, so of course.

1. great graphic but, as a musician

all this talk about major and minor strikes a note of discord for me. Hope my comment does not fall flat.

Also hope my attempt at musical humor does not distract from the seriousness of this insanity. Are all of these idiots graduates of Liberty University with a major in stupidity and a minor in magical religious biology for the science deprived?

2. they are obviously phi beta kappas in those subject.

actually, the major/minor thing seems to be referencing a movie called "the major and the minor" starring ginger rogers and ray milland.

5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

6. so, find a 12 year old that can be talked into saying "yes" and the 36 year old gets away with rape?

What the fuck is wrong with these guys.

oh never mind, I just figured out the self serving part in all of this.
