Iowa congressman Steve King is an apologist for "white nationalism" and "white supremacy" and is hoping to be re-elected for a tenth term in Congress in February 2020.

Judging by their voting record it seems that inbreeding is not entirely unusual in Iowa :eek:

You (and others here) are so obsessed with US news and politics, we should do a GoFundMe campaign to get you all over there for good

His actual quote in context rather than the usual LOLstockhausen RSS feed -

Dude said:
"Just because a conception happened in bad circumstances doesn't mean the result isn't a person,"

"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?"

"Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that."

Which is a lot less controversial that the very "picked for maximum rage" section.

Whilst your analysis is undoubtedly fascinating, nothing alters the fact that Steve King opposes a woman's right to seek an abortion in the case of incest (which most modern-day humans consider not to be a particularly good idea) and where a woman has been raped.

The views of some American Christian Fundamentalists may differ . . .

We are talking about the 21st Century here, not the dawn of man, you do realise that don't you?

Mr King has earned a reputation for his incendiary comments. The Iowa congressman was already stripped of his committee assignments by his Republican colleagues in Congress last month, after the New York Times published an interview in which the congressman questioned how the phrases "white nationalism" and "white supremacy" had become offensive.

After he was disciplined, Mr King compared himself to Jesus Christ.

The Republican has made a number of remarks widely seen as racist and xenophobic, once tweeting his support for the Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders.

"Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny," Mr King wrote on Twitter.

"We can't restore our civilisation with somebody else's babies," he added.

Without incest we'd not be able to laugh at people from Alabama and, erm, Norfolk.

I do wish they'd keep that nonsense off mainstream porn sites though... who the **** is into that? Why does it keep on getting promoted to us? Do people still watch the videos albeit skipping any initial role-play bit/dialogue at the start because they quite like the girl starring in it? Does that then mean the data scientists at the site incorrectly assume the category/fetish itself is more popular than it actually is thus promote it more? (I'd hope they have better data scientists than that.)

He basically said a lot of people currently alive would not be if their distant ancestor wasn't been raped, he did not say people should be raped, he simply has a moral objection to abortion because he is pro life. This is not my position but his position as I understand it.

Why worry about Iowa, thousands of miles away, in a totally different country, when the same inbreeding is very prevalent in the UK, places like Bradford and Milton Keynes?

It makes precisely zero logical sense to have a late(r) term abortion clause for (alleged) cases of rape and or incest......

You either accept humam life has reached a point worth protecting or not.......

Now there may be an argument for a later term abortion in a case of incest were a serious congenital defect was present and detected in utereo but this would be true for any pregnancy. The same might be true if there was compelling medical evidence/opinion that continuing the pregnancy would put the mother at risk of themselves suffering significant harm... But again this isn't a feature unique to alleged rape / incest clauses.

We don't allow mothers to harm or kill their children once born based on the alleged sins of the fathers and so the same should be true for unborn human life.... Either the life has reached a point deemed worth protecting or it hasn't


Even in context, it sounds bad:

In context vince its the truth.... The blunt truth but still the truth.

He might well be a racist religious nut bag but that doesn't mean he's wrong to oppose later term abortions purely based on the allegation that the fetus is the product of incest or rape.
