Polly Wants a Cracker. Maybe I Should Get Off Her First

Meet Rep. Chris Smith (R - Rapists)

A little while back I asked if the G.O.P. could get any crazier.  They've answered my question with a resounding, "YES! Yes, we can!"

With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Republicans propose that the rape exemption be limited to "forcible rape." This would rule out federal assistance for abortions in many rape cases, including instances of statutory rape, many of which are non-forcible. For example: If a 13-year-old girl is impregnated by a 24-year-old adult, she would no longer qualify to have Medicaid pay for an abortion.

173 other assholes congressman have signed on as cosponsors.

Happy Hump Day.
