He is a Republican.
Which means, if he did, it wouldn't be the end of is political career.
How else do you get a dinner invite from Matt Gaetz?

So it's a yes then
Its Missouri, so...
So he wants to rape HIS baby, not just any, unrelated baby.
"Republicans: saying the quiet part out loud since 2015."
Obviously not, he could rape a baby under the abortion bill too.
He wants to rape a baby AND force it to carry a child to full term.

a bill that would grant an abortion exception for rape or incest
... 1 year olds kids.
Nevermind the fact that 1y.o. aren't fertile, normal people go their entire lives without ever thinking about impregnating 1 year olds.
And yea, if you somehow magically got a 1 y.o. pregnant, I sure as fuck hope they'd be able abort.
I literally started screaming in my head (though, to be fair, most of my internal dialogue is just screams these days) , "WELL IF SOMEONE SOMEHOW GETS A ONE YEAR OLD PREGNANT, OBVIOUSLY THEY SHOULD HAVE AN ABORTION!" And then this guy's mom should have a really, really late post-term abortion. What the fuck is wrong with with conservatives?
What the fuck is wrong with conservatives?
We have large swaths of the American electorate who are just plain broken people. They've spent their entire lives being unjustifiably afraid of everything, from jack-booted liberal thugs busting down their doors to steal their bibles, to gay marriage somehow interfering with straight marriage.
Seriously, look at any list of political issues someone can believe something about, on any topic, and you can determine the modern Republican position on any of them by asking yourself two questions:
- Is there a position on this issue that's driven by stupid, irrational fear?
- Would incredibly basic, rudimentary education clear that fear away?
If the answer is "yes" to both, then chances are, you've identified the Republican position on that issue.
I'll never understand why they are more opposed to abortions for minors, who definitely didn't consent to sex and are more likely to be harmed by the pregnancy in so many ways.
You know exactly why.
So I do believe there is a significant and even growing misogynist/ child-bride/patriarchal-women-as-breeders-every-man-deserves-at-least-one element among Republican policy makers. But, I think the majority of Republican voters aren't looking at the specific intent of these bills and simply think it will never happen to their daughter because fill in the blank superiority complex, and that's what really pisses me off. Evidence of a well-fortified barrier to empathy.

They don't believe there is such a thing as not consenting to sex if you're female.
Don't conservatives always complain about how liberals don't understand guns and therefore shouldn't regulate them?

If a 1 year old got pregnant, I think you should be more concerned about arresting whoever TF impregnated a 1 year old, rather than whether it's a crime for the 1 year old to have an abortion.
Do these people even remotely understand that the younger a pregnant person is, actually makes an abortion more necessary? Beyond the health demands of pregnancy and childbirth on a young person, do they really want 10 and 12 year olds, or even younger, being mothers? (Don't bother answering; I can guess.)
do they really want 10 and 12 year olds, or even younger, being mothers?
Yes. Don't forget we have had congressmen say that a 10 year old rape victim not only should have been forced to give birth, but to raise the rapist's child too so she can understand the "blessing" she received. I believe it was a West Virginia congressman that classified 12 year olds being married as "just a way of life", while another said something along the lines of "i know people who got married at 12. They're still married."
So yes, they have gone on record saying exactly that.

Lot of child marriage in the States, I'm not surprised.
Hmmm... Show me a pregnant 1 year old and I will show you a little girl in desperate need of an abortion and a new home with people who actually will love her as one should a 1 year old.
Seriously, how fucking stupid do you need to be to actually utter something like this. I don't care if it is supposed rhetorical hyperbole, it just oozes with /r/NotHowGirlsWork energy.
In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.
Yeah, my phrasing was going to be a little different, but say the same thing: if a 1 year old needed an abortion, they absolutely should be able to get one.
...dude's face looks like someone prompted an AI with "generate a mugshot of someone charged with fucking a 1-year-old".
They are so stupid, it hurts.

Apparently we also need BadBabiesAnatomy now.
"The kid I raped could get an abortion under this!" he said with wildly misdirected outrage.
If a 1yo was raped and somehow impregnated, they would literally and absolutely die if they did not receive an abortion. In absolutely no way does this disgusting moron make any sense.
How are these people able to function in society with literally zero brain matter?
“1-year-old could get an abortion under this.”
"Odd take, but okay Senator, how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion? What age should a child victim have to look forward to, under your version of this legislation, that they know they could abort their rapists baby?"
how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion?
just to add: these are the same thing. A minor whose the victim of incest was also raped.
Infant pregnancy is one of our country's greatest issues and this guy doesn't even want to do anything about it!
Abortion should be compulsory for anyone pregnant under 13. That's the age we set for protecting children from the dangers of social media, and pregnancy is a heck of a lot more dangerous than that
If you going to remove my funny picture, at least put in the source:

Tell me you don't understand the basic anatomy and physiology you are regulating without telling me...
Sen. Beck replied, “I don’t know that a 1-year-old could get pregnant, senator.” He added, “You’re OK with forced birth of a child being raped, right?”
“I don’t support the institutions of rape or of incest. But your amendment doesn’t address those,” Eigel said.
Ah man he should have followed up and not allowed him to weasel his way out of it. Should have asked,
"It is a yes or no question, senator."
Put these fuckers on the spot for the record.

Dude, you wouldn't fucking believe it. I was at the clinic, killing my baby, and there was this fucking toddler doing the same thing. I mean, I'm a fucking grown man and I paid for my partner to scramble the brains of our unborn child, as is our right. But this little kid was there, doing the same thing. Couldn't have been more than 4yo.
STOP TINY CHILDREN FROM KILLING TINIER CHILDREN.
I mean, at some point, you just gotta have a limit.

Trump sure likes'em stupid, huh?
From what I've gathered, he actually doesn't seem to, but stupid sure likes Trump, so he works with what he's got.

Oh my god... If you haven't watched the video at the bottom, you should. It is so much worse than just the little quote about 1 year olds. This man is either mentally ill or knowingly evil and I'm not sure which.
It's both.
Please. Please, stop having sex with one year olds!
I wonder if this is part of their confusion campaign? We read it as a 1 year old could get a abortion but they will spin it as 1 year Old abortions and scream " how could you abort a 1 year old?"
They don't have to make sense, their only aim is the inflame their base of morons.
This representative should've been aborted
The left has lost their minds! One year olds should carry their pregnancies to term, think about the children!!
The crazy thing is there are very serious health risks for girls who underwent puberty early in carrying a fetus to term. I nominate implanting a
Zygote in this guy's brain, as that should have plenty of unused nutrients.

If somehow a one year old got pregnant I would totally expect her to be able to get an abortion. This just seems like common sense, no?
