in their never-ending quest to create jobs and lessen the deficit, those omnibenevolent republicans have introduced HR 3, the 'no federal funding for abortions' act.
i think most of us, even a rabid liberal progressive like myself, can recognize that such a bill is not a horrible idea.
but, like always, the devil is in the details.
the republicans, in all their glory and awesomeness, have decided that only victims of 'forcible rape', and not coercive or statutory rape, will be exempt from their holy and righteous efforts to legislate morality and dictate what you may or may not do with your own body.
also, if your uncle drugs and rapes your 19 year old daughter, tough titties.
the implications are enormous. now, every rape victim who wishes to take advantage of a tax exempt health savings account or medicaid to pay for their abortion must explain their rape to the government.
the government will then decide if the victim was raped forcibly or not.
yes, you heard me right: the government will decide if your daughter was raped or not.
this bill is sure to create countless jobs and dissipate the deficit.
and i know few of you on this board (johnnyo, surprisingly) voted for this insanity.
elections have consequences. vote wisely, folks.

so, in other words, if someone drugs your daughter and rapes her, tough titties.The limitations established in sections 301, 302, 303, and 304 shall not apply to an abortion-- '(1) if the pregnancy occurred because the pregnant female was the subject of an act of forcible rape or, if a minor, an act of incest;
also, if your uncle drugs and rapes your 19 year old daughter, tough titties.
