Imagine if a female politician said that about a man who was raped. Not even able to get pregnant. It may not be the best thing that ever happened to you...but do you think that nice, upstanding military man should have his entire life ruined over one little mistake?

The fact that we are creating policy based on religious text is unconscionable in this day and age.

At what point do we start talking about denying women any control over their fertility as a direct attack on our earning power and potential? Can we sue for lost wages?

You pay to live. Or else something might happen to that nice body of yours...
