Texas state senator Jodi Lautenberg shows that girls too can be totally ignorant and insulting on the issue of rape victims and abortion.
"One Texas GOP state representative is apparently confused about what "rape kits" are used for.

While the Texas House debated an anti-abortion omnibus bill for 15 hours Sunday night, Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D) called for an exemption for victims of rape and incest, theAssociated Press reported. Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R) objected, saying "rape kits" make that exemption unneccessary:
"In the emergency room they have what's called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out," [Laubenberg] said, comparing the procedure to an abortion. "The woman had five months to make that decision, at this point we are looking at a baby that is very far along in its development."Her apparent confusion about "rape kits" — a phrase generally used to describe the equipment used by medical personnel during forensic examinations to gather physical evidence following allegations of rape or sexual assault — sparked widespread ridicule on social media sites. Laubenberg then simply rejected all proposed changes to her bill without speaking until the end of the debate.
"Republicans in the Texas House passed the bill this morning, after hundreds flooded the state legislature to oppose the measure which would place new restrictions on how, when and where a woman could obtain an abortion in the state."
"Rep. Thompson made her case for a rape and incest exemption while a wire hanger hungfrom her podium's microphone, a symbol of pro-choice protests like the one recently held in Wisconsin.
Texas Democrats have threatened to filibuster the bill to keep it from reaching Governor Rick Perry's desk before the end of the special legislative session which ends Tuesday. Abortion-rights advocates say the bill would eliminate all but five abortion facilities in the state."
Yes, the rape kit that 'allows women to get cleaned out.' By 'cleaned out' she means they can terminate their pregnancy. While this is obviously absurd, it suggests that some pro-lifers don't believe all forms of terminating a pregnancy are 'murder.' as apparently there's no 'fetus pain' if you use the rape kit within 5 months.
There must be a GOP medical school out there somewhere that I'm not privy to. Where else do they get such deep knowledge from?
Yet they tell us that the GOP War on Women is just an illusion of liberals?!
Meanwhile, the real mystery is how so many women still vote GOP.
