GOP Misogyny Watch: Kansas Rep. Compares Rape Pregnancy to Flat Tire
What the hell is wrong with these people?
Kansas GOP legislator (and associate pastor) Pete DeGraaf, while arguing in favor of yet another insanely restrictive anti-abortion bill and against allowing abortions for rape victims, actually compared getting pregnant from rape to getting a flat tire.
Rep. Pete DeGraaf, a Mulvane Republican who supports the bill, told her: “We do need to plan ahead, don’t we, in life?”
Bollier asked him, “And so women need to plan ahead for issues that they have no control over with pregnancy?”
DeGraaf drew groans of protest from some House members when he responded, “I have a spare tire on my car.”
“I also have life insurance,” he added. “I have a lot of things that I plan ahead for.”
The Republican Party’s misogyny is completely out in the open these days.
