Your state senator is a sociopath…
…South Dakota District 35.
The fantasy:
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Napoli says most abortions are performed for what he calls “convenience.” He insists that exceptions can be made for rape or incest under the provision that protects the mother’s life. I asked him for a scenario in which an exception may be invoked.
BILL NAPOLI: A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life.
I’m giving 100 to 1 odds on this guy’s wife, girlfriend, mistress, or campaign staffer, in the next 10 years, reporting that he has forcibly sodomized her. I’ve giving 10,000,000 to 1 odds that said sodomization impregnates her. I can only give even odds on this clown writing a novel that includes graphic rapes scenes. If we’re lucky, it’ll be bear rape involving a rapidly moving tongue.
The reality:
FRED DE SAM LAZARO: One patient she saw was this woman, probably in her early 20s. She would not reveal even her age. With a low-paying job and two children, she said she simply could not afford a third.
“MICHELLE,” PATIENT WHO TERMINATED HER PREGNANCY: It was difficult when I found out I was pregnant. I was saddened, because I knew that I’d probably have to make this decision. Like I said, I have two children, so I look into their eyes and I love them. It’s been difficult, you know; it’s not easy. And I don’t think it’s, you know, ever easy on a woman, but we need that choice.
See, we live in a culture of life. And life begins at conception. But once you pop out, you’re on your own, bub. Try not to get sick, or have a poor single mother, or get raped after losing your virginity, or have sex in general, or need an organ transplant, or earn money with labor instead of capital, or live near power lines, or work for an outsourced industry, or go bankrupt, or criticize the government, or be a non-Christian, or have brownish skin, or own a house on the site of a future Wal-Mart. Follow all of these rules, and you, too, can be a rich white man who owns an antique car museum.
