Per the morning Plain Dealer and the Internet below is a statement from the Congressman from Missouri:
He was asked would he support abortions for women who have been raped. "It seems to me first of all from what I understand from doctors that's really rare," "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways try to shut that whole thing down." He said of a rape victim's chances of becoming pregnant. He also said that he would prefer that punishment for rape be focused on the rapist and not "attacking the child." Nothing about the women being raped.
He suggested that women who become pregnant as a result of rape are not "legitimately raped."
In 2011 he co-sponsored a bill to redefine rape. The purpose of the bill was to limit the number of survivors of rape and incest who could receive federally funded abortion care under existing law by changing the definition of rape to "forcible rape."
Now the following questions to answer:
1) Guess what party he represents?
2) Guess what group he belongs to?
3) Guess what religion he is?
1) Republican
2) Tea Party
3) Christian - Catholic
AMEN

The reverse is true as well: any man who judges a group by an individual member is equally a "pea wit." Dan, I fear you find yourself in a "pea soup" of your own bitter flavoring.
The guy want's to lump some idiot in with all Catholic's. Dan -- don't you think that's a pretty broad brush stroke you are using? With Dan's "logic" - he's male so all male's are idiots. Quit lumping me in with some idiot who made an even more idiotic comment. Like you've never, ever said anything you thought afterwords was so stupid you wondered where it came from? Or are you just perfect you can judge us all? I am a Republican. I am a Tea Party (sympathizer) I am a Catholic. Dan, you're just an idiot on the other end of the spectrum.
I noticed the local "Patch" leans left, but now it's a transparent soap box for an embarrassingly transparent point of view. So much for the "Home Town Feel". Shame
The Obama as Messiah is fascinating to me. Just grab his hand and he will pull you into the light. Wow.
I know many priests who help the poor, women, children! There you go again lumping all in one group. You must have a lot of issues that you need to work out. I pray you get them worked out Dan.
