Steve King on Rape and Incest Victims
August 21, 2012 5 Comments
Republicans dealing with the fallout from Senate candidate Todd Akin’s ridiculous claims about rape victims continue to give us insights into their thinking about rape. Here’s the contribution of Rep. Steve King, who is becoming a frequent Polentical topic.
The Buddy System
[Rep. Steve] King [wants to] ban Federal funding of abortions… for victims of statutory rape or incest–for example, a 12 year old who gets pregnant. Congressman King says he’s not aware of any young victims like that. “Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way(.)”

We have got to reduce what we spend
Says Steve King. His solution? Just end
Any spending that he,
Rep. Steve King, cannot see
As a help to a personal friend.

JUST BECAUSE THE FOOL HASN’T HEARD OR SEEN IT DOESN’T MEAN IT DOESN’T EXIST OR HAPPEN!!!!! AAARRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!! These idiots are making me SOOOO mad!!!
Yes, this one is really angering. Even putting aside the arrogance of being willing to legislate on something about which he is ignorant (“I don’t need to find out whether this is a problem; I don’t think it’s a problem and I’ll base my vote on that.”) there’s a complete brainlessness behind the whole thing: “Let’s cut funding for these victims because they don’t exist.” So this is a very important vote: we MUST cut… nothing.
