I don't want to start ANOTHER abortion thread so I'll place these words of wisdom here:

Quote:U.S. Rep. Steve King: If not for rape and incest, 'would there be any population left?'

Rep. Steve King told an Iowa crowd Wednesday that humanity might not exist if not for rape and incest throughout human history.



"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?" he said at the Westside Conservative Club in Urbandale, Iowa.

"Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that."


The Republican was discussing his defense of not allowing exceptions for rape and incest in the anti-abortion legislation he tried to pass in Congress. Republican leadership had prevented bills he sponsored on banning abortions from advancing through the House, despite GOP support for the measures, King said.


Just because a conception happened in bad circumstances doesn't mean the result isn't a person, King, who is Catholic, argued.


"It's not the baby's fault for the sin of the father, or of the mother," he said.
