This latest bill to require an unnecessary and invasive procedure of women when they exercise their right to receive an abortion – even when they have been raped – as well as the very ridiculous rhetoric surrounding the defense of these bills has caused me to believe one thing very strongly.  This latest wave of misogynistic legislation on the state and national level is going to cost the Republicans big time in the next election.  Do they realize that women make up about one-half of the voting public?

How ignorant can they get?  Answer: VERY.

Winder, a Republican from Boise, responded to those concerns by raising the question of whether women understand when they have been raped.

“Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this,” Winder said on the Senate floor. “I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.”

Unfortunately, this Winder guy is not alone in his extraordinarily ignorant statement.  The GOP is rife with ignoramuses (or is it ignorami?) just like him.

We can only hope that the Democrats get their shit together – including Obama – and HAMMER the Republican candidates with this nonsense.  If they don’t, they deserve to lose to a party of ignoramuses/ignorami.
