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?
What the fuck is wrong with conservatives?
We have large swaths of the American electorate who are just plain broken people. They’ve spent their entire lives being unjustifiably afraid of everything, from jack-booted liberal thugs busting down their doors to steal their bibles, to gay marriage somehow interfering with straight marriage.
Seriously, look at any list of political issues someone can believe something about, on any topic, and you can determine the modern Republican position on any of them by asking yourself two questions:
- Is there a position on this issue that’s driven by stupid, irrational fear?
- Would incredibly basic, rudimentary education clear that fear away?
If the answer is “yes” to both, then chances are, you’ve identified the Republican position on that issue.
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.)
do they really want 10 and 12 year olds, or even younger, being mothers?
Yes. Don’t forget we have had congressmen say that a 10 year old rape victim not only should have been forced to give birth, but to raise the rapist’s child too so she can understand the “blessing” she received. I believe it was a West Virginia congressman that classified 12 year olds being married as “just a way of life”, while another said something along the lines of “i know people who got married at 12. They’re still married.”
So yes, they have gone on record saying exactly that.
I’d forgotten that quote. 🤮
Lot of child marriage in the States, I’m not surprised.
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.
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.
…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.
How are these people able to function in society with literally zero brain matter?
“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?”
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?
just to add: these are the same thing. A minor whose the victim of incest was also raped.
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
