From the article: "Also in 2022, a Michigan Republican candidate said he told his daughters “If rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it.”
I do not think I’ve ever read a statement from someone that has pissed me off so fucking quickly. Someone needs to check on this man’s daughters and fucking take them from him, forcibly if necessary, ASAP, and then put them with a family who legitimately loves them.
FUCK I HATE THIS TIMELINE.
Dont hate the timeline.
Hate Republicans. Thats just more honest.
You’re right. They are the ones platforming these types of people.
I’d like to hope that enough of them would hear something like that and be like “Gross, I want nothing to do with the likes of this fucking asshole”, however, unfortunately, I do not know that this would be the reality. Which is an absolutely mind-boggling statement to make.
These people should get intragastric balloon shoved up their ass and inflated so they can feel some of the “greatest healing” first hand. It should be done against their will as well since they claim it’s not an issue. You know, not to be left out of the whole greatness. Not quite fair that only females get to experience it.
If anyone complains how “god didn’t meant for balloons to be in our assholes”, just make a counter argument: if that were true why did it make us fart then. Clearly air is suppose to be there.

Or use their own argument, “God doesn’t make mistakes.” If that balloon is up your ass, even though you didn’t want it there, then too bad. God wills it so.
Or that.
Anyone that actually believes this shouldn’t be allowed to continue breathing.
I’m done being nice about this.
I mean … we could shove a 10 cm bowling ball up his ass against his will and see how he feels thereafter
You KNOW he’s just going to respond “I’ve had bigger shits” and then cry about it in a closed room. If logic was ever going to work on these morons, it would’ve happened decades ago.
e. I feel like it’s also important to note that there are dumb as fuck women who also believe this fucking nonsense and these laws would have far less efficacy if it didn’t have their support (looking at all those ladies with ® beside their name)
I know, it sucks. It took years of therapy and separating from my ex and other unhealthy relationships to realize you can’t debate crazy.
I think it was worth your time trying. There’s always the possibility somewhere down the line that the individual(s) you spoke to will encounter a situation in their life that will force them to reflect on their views and attempt to update them from archaic to pre-modern.
Discussion is never a failure, in my opinion, but I absolutely believe it can be seriously draining.
It’s crazy making which is definitely draining.
Wow, not a single downvote against violent comments. Honestly taken a back by that.
If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.
“We would never take a mile, you have our promise”
And here they are taking a mile.

What happens to the rapist, then? Can he get partial custody of the child? Can he use that as an excuse to keep meeting or at least indirectly interacting with his rape victim?
What a great healing agent, to force women to be repeatedly reminded of that time when they were raped.
Don’t worry, the good bible has the answer.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,
29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.That’s pure evil, but one part stands out, not as the worst part, but somehow still stands out.
“and they are discovered.” What’s that got to do with anything? If this is from the religious point of view, then surely God knows what he did, so why would it matter if they’re discovered. If it’s from a legal point of view, then of course you can only redress crimes that are discovered, so there’s no need to include that phrase.
So, including that phrase doesn’t seem to have any relevance or benefit. Conversely, including a phrase like that does imply that if they’re not discovered, then God doesn’t care whether anything happens to the man. The girl has been violated and lost her virginity. But since they weren’t discovered, there’s no penalty, even from God.
The other thing this makes me think about is, “If the penalty for breaking a law is simply a fine, then the law really only applies to poor people.” So, a person who can afford fifty shekels of silver can just pick any maiden he wants to marry, as long as she’s not pledged to be married, even if he’s old and gross. All he has to do is something terrible and then get “discovered.” This section simply seems to legalize rape for rich people.
Because if they are not discovered then it’s just her word against his so there’s no proof so he’s free to go rape someone else. Honestly, I think that’s really what that means.
Good damn it’s so obvious the Bible was written by mediocre, out of touch men
Fifty shekels of silver? That’s how much today in Stanley Nickels?
This is just a step to eliminating rape as a crime, they’ll find some way to justify as “for the babies”, the GOP are completely garbage people.
Under his eye
May the Lord open
We’re getting godtse’d at this point.
Generally yes. They can even get partial custody.
It’s for the healing process /s
A child that will be a living, breathing reminder of their attack for the rest of their life is also a cruel thing to force upon them. But this is
masochismsadism.Hate to be THAT person, but it’s sadism if you are referring to the guy who said it. Misogyny often breeds both though, so I can imagine the confusion.
Haha, no you’re right; brain fart! Edited and thank you…
republicans love rape
I’ll bet he thinks forced marriage to said rapist is a Great Healing Agent too. (He’s never advocated this as far as I know, and I’m not trying to put words in his mouth. But c’mon, we gotta Bring Back the Nuclear Family, no?)
“The greatest healing agent,” says the rape enabler.
what do you expect. missouri republicans see women as brood mares, and brood mares aren’t people.
I’m this close to expecting them to call women “fee males”.
This dude looks like he has some kind of ulterior motive, here.
What i am saying is: he looks like a rapist.
Yeah, it looks like he wants to rape women and force them to have his rape babies. I’m guessing he’s already raped somebody, based on this pro-rapist attitude.
If nothing else, he needs to come to terms with his vanishing hairline with more dignity than that. That ‘Ghost of
ChunkSloth from Goonies’ hairstyle does nothing fire him.Sloth?
Fuck no. Fuck. No! Sloth is a treasure and a good man. Just wanted respect as a human, to show his strength, and have a Baby Ruth.
Sloth is too good for this fucking degenerate that even a single celled entity would reject.
Plus, he had the excuse of being dropped as a baby a few times. What’s this guy’s excuse?
Would a rapist not take this as encouragement? Would this not make women feel incredibly unsafe? Why do men have no equivalent laws that restrict what they can do with their own body?
This is how you get increased suicides and abandoned infants.
The problem is (a) Republicans don’t care if the issue isn’t their own, and (b) Republicans seem to lack the capacity for identifying systemic failures. It’s like an object-permanence thing with them. If they can’t physically see the thing happening directly with their two eyes, then there is no relation. Like they’re blind to negative externalities or indirect side-effects. at the macro level.
In other words… There’s a reason these folks don’t normally make great engineers or scientists.
This guy looks like a rapist. Why do they all look like that?
Psychos
I would make this guy walk around with a cantaloupe in his ass for 9 months and then shit it out, take it home a day later, and send him a bill for $10k a week later.
And then make him take care of it for 18 years.

What makes you think he doesn’t already like shoving huge things up his ass?
He doesn’t have enough empathy to be gay.
Bad take, straight men can enjoy a good pegging. Also empathy is not a prerequisite for homosexuality. I wager empathy has nothing to do with sexuality nor is it any indicator of sexual preference.
This is just bullshit he’s spewing to justify forcibly spawning more meat for the grinder, by hook or by crook. While I don’t know if he’s married to a woman, I highly doubt he’d think this would apply if his wife was raped and became pregnant as a result. Carrying a rape baby to term is for proles in the eyes of people like this
I’m gonna remember this comment.
Well Missouri is the ‘legitimate rape’ state so…yep. This is on brand.
from 2021:
Ex-US Rep. Todd Akin, sunk by ‘legitimate rape’ remark, dies
“He was a devout Christian…”
surprise! /s
