“But what is beautiful is the child that could comproduction of this.”
State Rep. Brian Kurcaba made his initial comments as members of the West Virginia House of Delegates debated a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy without an exemption in cases of rape.
e as a “For somebody to take advantage of somebody else in such a horrible and terrifying and brutal way is absolutely disgusting,” Kurcaba said. “But what is beautiful is the child that could comproduction of this.”
The little known West Virginia policymaker, who became the latest in a long line of GOP lawmakers to make an ill-advised comment about rape, issued a statement late Friday apologizing to “anyone who took my comments about the sanctity of human life to mean anything other than that all children are precious regardless of circumstances.”
Republicans were already reeling last week over offensive rape comments after a Utah lawmaker questioned whether husbands should be charged with raping their sleeping wives.
Well said John an excellent post on a very difficult subject! Rape is a violent and dreadful crime which has never been taken seriously enough!

The statement stopped me in my tracks. Men who try to make rape less than a serious crime. Should not be a leader in the USA. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

Men like him. Need a few days in prison. Rape would be fearful then. I have daughters. If someone hurt my daughters or grandchildren. I wouldn’t be a nice man. These men who say dumbs things. Need to be held accountable for.

Well said. I am disturbed at the number of people who seem determined to find nuances in rape that one would never dream of finding in murder, robbery, etc. In the final estimation, it is nothing but a hideous crime, and looking for “positives” in it is as despicable as trying to console someone for their murdered relative by talking about their inheritance…
