“Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn’t, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I’ve always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can’t think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation.”

— Rick Santorum, on why women should carry their rapists’ babies

“…if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life.”

I hate this fucking asshole. There are so many things wrong with this, I just… I can’t. I don’t know where to begin.

Nothing defines “making the best out of a bad situation” more than requiring a woman who was forced into sexual congress against her will to then carry an unwanted child produced against her will, right? And to legally take away any choice she has in either matter? This fucking asshole.

I wish I could do more than just not vote for this shitdonkey. I hate him more than I have words for.
