Just more republican BS.

If they can't win politically, they'll take their opponents out with a trumped up sex scandal.

Or try to.

So far he's winning and he's up against a real koch funded slime ball. As of now he's got this, I sure hope this doesn't work. They are ruthless.

excuses... see, she consented. Never mind the rest. Plus, they don't think they should have to PAY???? for it. Yet, the female consent on an abortion doesn't count for anything...her decision or her life, in many cases.
