back on the legitimate rape meme:

In the meantime, said Graham, the pain capable bill would need to be tweaked and rescued. “We need to find a consensus position on the rape exception,” he said. “The rape exception will be part of the bill. We just need to find a way definitionally to not get us into a spot where we’re debating what legitimate is. That’s not the cause. We’re not here debating legitimate rape. We’re talking about saving babies at 20 weeks.”

and this insane logic from the same article:

After Santorum left, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham took the rostrum and asked activists to cheer up. “My belief is that most Americans will say, when they understand this issue, that nothing bad comes out of debating it,” he said. “The medical community is required to administer anesthesia to a child older than 20 weeks if there’s surgery on a pregnant woman… if the medical community is protecting the baby from pain, should we not stand up to protect the baby from death?”
