The Party Of Rape Culture: 40 Republican Rape Quotes Everyone Should Remember

[Galraedia]

Republicans are obsessed with rape. It is perhaps the one issue that caused the GOP to implode during the 2012 Election. The foot-in-mouth disease carried by the party has revealed much about the current beliefs of conservatives and it has spread like a plague in just the last year or two, and as Republicans have continued to attack rape victims, they have united women like never before against their extreme anti-abortion agenda.

In just the last six months alone, Republicans have forced draconian anti-abortion legislation into law in Kansas, Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Arkansas even after they acknowledged that they needed to do more to attract women voters. Well, apparently Republicans don’t care about what women think because they have done nothing but double down on the war on women they have been viciously waging since 2010, when Tea Party Republicans took control of state legislatures and governorships in states across the nation. Today’s Republican is required to oppose abortion exceptions for rape victims in order to avoid a primary challenge from someone further to the right. And because of that, Republicans have been saying some really stupid things about rape and rape victims. Here is a comprehensive list of 40 quotes uttered by Republicans about rape that women should keep in mind the next time they go into the voting booth in 2014.


1. “Rape is terrible. Rape is awful. Is it made any better by killing an innocent child? Does it solve the problem for the woman that’s been raped? We need to protect innocent life. Period.”
-Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, declaring that raped women must be additionally forced to carry and give birth to their rapist’s baby against their will in front of an all male crowd at the National Catholic Men’s Conference, June 2007.

2. “Nobody plans to have an accident in a car accident, nobody plans to have their homes flooded. You have to buy extra insurance for those two.”
-Barbara Listing, leader of Right To Life, comparing rape to a car accident, May 2013.

1. This kind of stinking thinking makes me so enraged...

I could not read more than a few of these insane dumbass-to-the-max quotes.

Just seething..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These people who let this kind of sewage fall out of their mouths must've had the flesh-eating microbe invade their craniums.

Please, please, please, use your VOTE to pitch these egregious bigoted idiots so far out of office that they can NEVER gain any power over women, ever again.

2. How any woman can vote for a Republican is beyond me.

It's not even just about abortion. They want to take away contraception, keep our pay low, keep us from certain jobs if we're qualified and make sure we're powerless to fight against them. It's all about their terror of female sexuality. They want robotic Stepford wives that wait on them hand and foot and submit to them in the bedroom. And they want any woman that strays from that role to wear a scarlet letter.

3. Because they vote with their husband?

And they don't give a shit about politics?

4. Probably one reason teabagger women vote the way they do

besides a total lack of brains and ethics, is because they see it as a road to power over somebody at least. They know they're in the outhouse themselves, but they want to keep other women down as much as possible so they themselves might not wind up on the absolute bottom rung of the ladder. It's mindless savage survival behavior though totally counterproductive to their own best interests. A form of Stockholm Syndrome toward their male masters, I guess.
