Venn Diagram: Rape vs. Flat Tire

[Ichingcarpenter]

As many have pointed out, preparing to get a flat tire is not the same as preparing to be raped. You won't get HIV from a flat tire, for example. Nor will you get pregnant. To help Rep. DeGraaf understand the many differences between rape and a flat tire, I've made the Venn diagram below. But I can't help but think it's not that he doesn't know the difference: it's just that he doesn't care.

3. Wow. K&R

4. He is absolutely correct....De Graaf just doesn't give a damn. True of many

anti-choicers.

They all make me want to puke up my lunch.

8. They make me want to attack them with a set of pruning shears.

Really. We don't want them breeding.

7. Read the article .... I gave a link

geez

15. Don't you love it when people do that?

I know I look forward to it.... every TIME.

16. I'm talking about using it as a visual attention getter

Non-political junkies won't have a clue about who "this guy" is. If I were to put it on a 4-up handout, I'd put the link on the back after I got peoples' attention with the visual on the front.

9. "Rape is just like a flat tire" is more offensive than s***

So has this guy been suspended for a week? Oh, sorry, for a moment there I forgot that IOKIYAR.

[BrklynLiberal]

11. BINGO!

12. It was a charade on his part, anyway.

He doesn't really believe that. His goal is to force all pregnant women to remain in that condition until they either give birth or die, no matter how they got that way or what effect the pregnancies are having on said women. He's very clear about this - on his website he bemoans all the abortions that take place on the pretense (his word) that the woman's life is in danger. Of course rape is no valid reason for an abortion, either, in his mind. So, he was lying when he says he thinks women need to plan ahead for pregnancies due to rapes.

13. I wonder if he has chasity belts for his wife and daughters??

Or if he is going to buy rape insurance for them??
