There was a time when men who were anti-abortion didn’t bother to hide their lack of empathy for women who end up pregnant as the result of rape or incest.
One man, a Missouri Republican lawmaker, once talked about “consensual rape.” Another alluded to “legitimate rape” and said women had the biological ability to prevent a pregnancy when they were sexually assaulted.
The guys have wised up and shut up. In Florida, female lawmakers are sponsoring a proposed 15-week abortion ban — and have the nerve to frame a bill advancing in Tallahassee as pro women and sexual assault survivors.
