This Republican Representative Wants Rape to be Legal

Another head scratcher. These are the people in today’s Republican party.

So if rapers are the ones Representative Lawrence and advocates for, why would non rapers vote for this man. Why would anyone vote Republican anyway?

Democrats called for state Rep. Lawrence Lockman’s resignation after blogger Mike Tipping chronicled Lockman’s public stateme resignation nts since the 1980s in a blog post Tuesday.

Among other declarations and protestations concerning the IRS, HIV/AIDS and homosexuality, Lockman, then president of the Pro-Life Education Association, said in a letter sent in 1990 that he didn’t see why rape shouldn’t be acceptable if abortion is legal.

“If a woman has [the right to an abortion], why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman?” Lockman wrote. “At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t [in most cases] result in anyone’s death.”

Lockman released a statement Wednesday in which he said he regrets his comments.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
