A far-right Republican state senator explaining his opposition to a bill that would grant an abortion exception for rape or incest told his fellow lawmakers, a “1-year-old could get an abortion under this.”Senator Bill Eigel, a pro-Trump Republican who is also running to become Missouri’s next governor
Uhh… does that dude want to rape a baby?
He is a Republican.
Which means, if he did, it wouldn’t be the end of is political career.
How else do you get a dinner invite from Matt Gaetz?
He’d have to marry the baby first though.
Dead girl or live boy, so no, it wouldn’t end his career.
These days, I’m not sure about the dead girl clause.
So it’s a yes then
Its Missouri, so…
So he wants to rape HIS baby, not just any, unrelated baby.
“Republicans: saying the quiet part out loud since 2015.”
Obviously not, he could rape a baby under the abortion bill too.
He wants to rape a baby AND force it to carry a child to full term.That still wouldn’t make the baby pregnant though
I know that. You know that. I’m not sure Bill Eigel knows that.
a bill that would grant an abortion exception for rape or incest
… 1 year olds kids.
Nevermind the fact that 1y.o. aren’t fertile, normal people go their entire lives without ever thinking about impregnating 1 year olds.
And yea, if you somehow magically got a 1 y.o. pregnant, I sure as fuck hope they’d be able abort.I literally started screaming in my head (though, to be fair, most of my internal dialogue is just screams these days) , “WELL IF SOMEONE SOMEHOW GETS A ONE YEAR OLD PREGNANT, OBVIOUSLY THEY SHOULD HAVE AN ABORTION!” And then this guy’s mom should have a really, really late post-term abortion. What the fuck is wrong with with conservatives?

I’ll never understand why they are more opposed to abortions for minors, who definitely didn’t consent to sex and are more likely to be harmed by the pregnancy in so many ways.
You know exactly why.
So I do believe there is a significant and even growing misogynist/ child-bride/patriarchal-women-as-breeders-every-man-deserves-at-least-one element among Republican policy makers. But, I think the majority of Republican voters aren’t looking at the specific intent of these bills and simply think it will never happen to their daughter because fill in the blank superiority complex, and that’s what really pisses me off. Evidence of a well-fortified barrier to empathy.
Do I? They can’t all be pedos, can they?
They wouldn’t use that word, no.
They don’t believe there is such a thing as not consenting to sex if you’re female.
Don’t conservatives always complain about how liberals don’t understand guns and therefore shouldn’t regulate them?
They don’t have principles, they have goals, and will say anything they expect to further those goals.
If a 1 year old got pregnant, I think you should be more concerned about arresting whoever TF impregnated a 1 year old, rather than whether it’s a crime for the 1 year old to have an abortion.
Do these people even remotely understand that the younger a pregnant person is, actually makes an abortion more necessary? Beyond the health demands of pregnancy and childbirth on a young person, do they really want 10 and 12 year olds, or even younger, being mothers? (Don’t bother answering; I can guess.)
Lot of child marriage in the States, I’m not surprised.

I’d forgotten that quote. 🤮
Hmmm… Show me a pregnant 1 year old and I will show you a little girl in desperate need of an abortion and a new home with people who actually will love her as one should a 1 year old.
Seriously, how fucking stupid do you need to be to actually utter something like this. I don’t care if it is supposed rhetorical hyperbole, it just oozes with /r/NotHowGirlsWork energy.
In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.
Yeah, my phrasing was going to be a little different, but say the same thing: if a 1 year old needed an abortion, they absolutely should be able to get one.

Apparently we also need BadBabiesAnatomy now.
…dude’s face looks like someone prompted an AI with “generate a mugshot of someone charged with fucking a 1-year-old”.
They are so stupid, it hurts.
“The kid I raped could get an abortion under this!” he said with wildly misdirected outrage.
If a 1yo was raped and somehow impregnated, they would literally and absolutely die if they did not receive an abortion. In absolutely no way does this disgusting moron make any sense.
“1-year-old could get an abortion under this.”
“Odd take, but okay Senator, how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion? What age should a child victim have to look forward to, under your version of this legislation, that they know they could abort their rapists baby?”

Infant pregnancy is one of our country’s greatest issues and this guy doesn’t even want to do anything about it!
Abortion should be compulsory for anyone pregnant under 13. That’s the age we set for protecting children from the dangers of social media, and pregnancy is a heck of a lot more dangerous than that

Tell me you don’t understand the
basic anatomy and physiology you are regulatingwithout telling me…Sen. Beck replied, “I don’t know that a 1-year-old could get pregnant, senator.” He added, “You’re OK with forced birth of a child being raped, right?”
“I don’t support the institutions of rape or of incest. But your amendment doesn’t address those,” Eigel said.
Ah man he should have followed up and not allowed him to weasel his way out of it. Should have asked,
“It is a yes or no question, senator.”
Put these fuckers on the spot for the record.
“I don’t support the institutions of rape or of incest. But your amendment doesn’t address those,” Eigel said.
“I’m 100% okay with having sex with a 1-year-old as long as it isn’t rape.”
