[Cirque du So-What]

3. Oy!

[freshwest]

54. Laura explains the sexual preferences of conservatives.

Please, get away from us. You're disgusting!

[L0oniX]

4. The cult of batshit continues.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Because pedophiles and rapists care about outcomes, Laura? Is that it?

[phantom power]

6. wait, because the rapists and pedophiles have been holding back up til now...

because of the concern about impregnating their victims?

WTF??

[Dawson Leery]

7. Says the ignorant follower

of the Opus Dei satanist/romanist cult.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

8. I thought gunny sacks were good for that.

[pacalo]

9. Ban the morning-after pill because it only helps PEDOPHILES!1! And RAPISTS!1!

And every other spine-tingling term for sex deviants she can think of to scare Fixed News' dumber-than-rocks viewers into disregarding the victims' standpoint.

[Half-Century Man]

10. A pill to help pedophiiles and rapists...

She might be on to something.

If each pill contained a tiny piece of her soul, that should be toxic enough to dispose of pedophilies and rapists.

[ThomThom]

11. does she even know what a pedophile is?

and how many of their victims get pregnant?

[Stonepounder]

12. I guess that I am really missing something here.

This is not snark. I really do not understand. Currently, anyone, male or female, at any age, can walk into any drug or convenience store in the country (not to mention a number of public restrooms) and buy condoms. Condoms are primarily designed to prevent the sperm from reaching a fertile egg, thus preventing pregnancy. (Yes, I know that they also serve the purpose of preventing the transmission of STDs, but that's not why they were invented.)

The so-called morning after pill does exactly the same thing - it prevents the sperm from reaching a fertile egg, thus preventing pregnancy. So why is there such an uproar over females taking responsibility for preventing their own pregnancy, when it seems to be perfectly OK for a male to take responsibility for getting a female pregnant? Why aren't they screaming that being able to buy rubbers is a good deal for pedophiles and statutory rapists.

And just for snark, could Laura explain to me how someone could commit statutory rape against an old woman, as opposed to a young girl?

[Ilsa]

20. An elderly woman who is

Non compos mentis due to illness or developmental disability could be statutorily raped. She might say yes to her perpetrator who knows she has no legal capacity. Happens with caregivers.

Are you saying the burden of preventing pregnancy via daily birth control should be on the woman because she should fear being raped, any time, any day? What if she's been traumatized and doesn't remember to get the money for contraception?

What if she is a young woman in college, not in a relationship because she's on scholarship and shes devoting her energies to finishing, not dating? Is she supposed to be on birth control in case she gets raped?

Do lesbians need to be on the pill because they can expect to be raped and impregnated?

Is every little girl who has gone through menarche supposed to be on the pill or expected to buy contraception!

Have you ever taken care of a rape victim? Do you know the myriad possibilities of how traumatized they can be?

This isn't snark; please explain yourself.

[Stonepounder]

32. Wow! Did you ever miss the point of my post.

1. In common law, 'statutory rape' is almost invariably used to mean an older man engaging in sex with a female who is past puberty but still younger than the 'age of consent'. I was simply commenting that 'statutory rape' is normally used in conjunction with 'young' women, so the comment about 'statutorily raping young girls' seemed to be somewhat redundant and was wondering why the speaker needed to qualify her comment that way.

2. My basic comment had absolutely nothing to do with rape. It had to do with the frenzy about the 'morning after' pill being sold over the counter to anyone. The morning after pill is a method of contraception for women, and the conservatives seem to be going bananas over it. I was simply questioning why it is OK for anyone to buy condoms, which are a male form of birth control, but somehow it is not OK for women to buy birth control. Granted, condoms are used 'before' and the morning after pill is used 'after', but the end result is the same, conception is prevented. It doesn't have to be rape. It can be completely consensual, but 'unprotected' sex, with a morning after realization of OMG. That was the point that I didn't understand. I would suspect that the vast majority of women who would avail themselves of the morning after pill would fall into the OMG category, not the 'I've just been raped' category.

I hope that clarifies what I was trying to say. Sorry if it was misunderstood.

[Ilsa]

33. Sorry about the misunderstanding...

I thought you were placing the onus of post-rape birth control on the victim, obviously. I've known rape victims who were so traumatized, they lost half their vocabulary, had difficulty concentrating on driving, etc.

To answer your question: it boils down to this idea that conservatives have that women shouldn't be allowed control over their reproduction, so they define "life" as the moment of conception. They would do away with birth control pills that prevent conception if they could. They have a pre-Griswold vs Connecticutt view of contraception.

[Stonepounder]

34. And therein lies the issue I was raising.

I don't understand them getting to up in arms against women using birth control, while not having any problem with men using condoms. They seek to regulate all forms of female contraception - the pill, diaphrams, IUDs, etc. need a prescription from a doctor. Now comes the morning after pill that is most assuredly NOT an abortifact, and can be bought OTC, and the Right goes bat-shit crazy.

The only conclusion I can come to is that they want to put women back into second-class status - entities who cannot make decisions for themselves and are totally dependent on men for what they can and cannot do (The Handmaiden's Tale anyone?). But if that is what they really want, how in the world do they get female spokespeople to espouse this this POV?

That's the part where I really get lost.

[Ilsa]

35. I can't imagine why any woman would want to deny

Other women choices for their own lives. If they don't want to use OC, fine, but don't force that loss of choice on other women.

[tclambert]

38. I thought they also opposed condoms. Abstinence is the only acceptable contraceptive.

Many parents can tell you how well THAT works.

[Maraya1969]

28. You see if you were a real Fox news enthusiast you would never take that short leap and realize

that if rapists and pedophiles gave a shit about whether or not their victims became pregnant they would use a condom. But they don't give a shit so they don't use condoms. And they would not shove a morning after pill down their victim's throats because they still would still not give a shit.

(Unless they are related or the victim is in their life for any other reason)

[kimmylavin]

13. I don't even understand the "logic" here.

So a man assaults a girl, and then forces her to take two pills sometime over the next 72 hours?
I just... I don't get what the hell she is saying.

[Divine Discontent]

47. "I don't even understand the "logic" here."

That's their goal, my friend. They want to cause confusion in their audience, and derail the goal being sought by bringing up the most bizarre asinine tangents that really don't make any freakin' sense.

[Initech]

14. WTF is wrong with Fox? Do they put stupid pills in the water or something?

[tclambert]

37. Stupid pills have always been legal.

Fox "News" is a video substitute for those who have trouble taking the pill form.

[Initech]

40. Maybe they take the "Forget Me Now's" from Arrested Development.

[awoke_in_2003]

48. No, it comes naturally. nt

[leftyohiolib]

17. i thought she was talking about enlisting in the military

[ctsnowman]

19. K & R

Maybe all DUers can agree on this?

[RedSpartan]

22. I can't believe someone smart enough to clerk for the Supreme Court would say something so stupid.

Oh, wait. I take that back. She clerked for Justice Thomas.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. How does that make any sense....AT ALL?

repukes are wierd people.

[SunSeeker]

25. So forcing a child to give birth to her rapist's baby is better?!

Apparently, her reasoning is the by aborting the fetus, you are destroying evidence against the rapist/pedophile. Not really, you dumbshit. You still have the fetus, that can be tested just like a live baby can, and without ruining the girl's life.

[Just Saying]

26. I think the problem is we're looking for these people to make sense.

And they just don't.

[closeupready]

27. What a stupid woman.

Honey, you are making NO SENSE.

[sevenseas]

29. Simply just Fox's brainwashing technique of word association ...

Put "morning after pill" in the same sentence as "pedophiles" and "rapists", and VOILA! "morning after pill" morphs into a negative thought....for their brainwashed, super-righteous, non-thinking viewers, that is.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

30. It's a good deal for non sequiturs, too!

You were saying, Laura?

[DCKit]

31. She's got my vote! nt

[blkmusclmachine]

36. .

[DissidentVoice]

42. And someone expected ration and reason from Laura Ingraham?

She's like Michelle Malkin...the so-called "pretty face" of batshit talk radio.

Underneath, both of them have the same evil core as any other far-right wingnut.

[randr]

44. Laura and Faux taking the side of the "victims" once again

[alp227]

45. K&R+yay my thread made the front page again! N/T

[Nanjing to Seoul]

46. Really, Laura? Really? THIS is the BEST you can do? Seriously?

BTW, love the cross you're wearing. WWJL? When would Jesus Lie? WWJD? Who would Jesus Discriminate?

[KansDem]

49. Man, I wish I got paid what she gets paid for saying crazy bullshit!

I mean, I can say crazy bullshit now without getting paid, so a 6- or 7-digit salary with all the benis would be sweet icing on the cake!

[AsahinaKimi]

50. Fox really is the HATE CHANNEL....

They come up with the most vile People in the country and allow them to broadcast their message to the ignorant masses.

chikushou! Omee tada no baka-mono da! Damare!

[Nanjing to Seoul]

60. agreed. ta ma de sha bi, hun dan he biao zi zai na ge pian le dian shi

wo xi wang dou ren min zai na ge gou shi hui zhi li kai he qu si!

[DCKit]

51. Had no idea. Anyone else feeling a bit rapey right now? nt

[The Wizard]

52. Somewhere there's a

lightening bolt looking for Laura Ingrham.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

53. Laura just cobbles together a few HORRIFYING BUZZWORDS.

She knows that fuxtards won't think about anything she says. The name of the game is, grab those amygdalas, and SQUEEEEEZE.

Making sense, considering real life girls and women and thinking about what happens to them when help is or is not available, was NEVER a part of Miss Diamond-Encrusted-Cross-Holier-Than-Thou lady's train of "logic"

[stevenleser]

55. Hall of shame-worthy

Yes indeed

[Jamaal510]

56. OK, it's official.

Laura Ingraham isn't just a paid liar; she is a certified troglodyte. Anybody who links contraceptives with pedophilia must have something seriously wrong with them up there. You don't see Republicans like Steve Schmidt or Michael Steele coming out with stuff this misguided. Never.
Ingraham is in a whole different league.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

57. THe Fox dumb blondes

[Hulk]

58. Just happens to be a dumb "female blond"

Is NO reflection on female blonds, or male blonds, or blonds; but this hag is wasted material. I can't stand to see this hypocritical biotch squall like she has anything that anyone but an evangelical bible-thumper would be the least bit interested in hearing.

She is one empty-headed fox-nonsense shill. Nothing more. Don't blame blonds for this woman's ignorance...please.

[tavalon]

59. Is Laura Ingraham really human

I thought she was maybe second gen cyborg. She certainly lacks what most would call a soul and certainly lacks anything resembling gray matter between those ears and her bleached hair.

Is she nipping at the heels of that other one Ann Coultergeist?

[Sunlei]

62. yeah fox and all the palins of the world who allow their kids to overnight at drunk parties..

can shove a pill down their daughters mouths when they come home with a hangover.

[WovenGems]

63. Stoned

Smoke a joint and watch FoxNews then it isn't insulting to your intelligence it's funnier than 5 year olds playing soccer.

I am not promoting drug use but I do think FoxNews is.
