Sharron Angle: Comparing Rape to Lemons and Lemonade

So we already knew that Sharron Angle has some pretty fucked-up super-conservative opinions about abortion. Well, here's some more of the same, in case you weren't sure. In a radio interview last month, she took on the issue of rape, and even specifically incestuous rape resulting in pregnancy, refusing to back down from her hard-line stance even in such an awful situation.

"I think that two wrongs don’t make a right. And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade."

Really? That's how it is? Being a teenager, raped and then forced to carry a baby you didn't want, plan, or even know what the father's genetic contributions are (or worse, know that they're your father's), is akin to making lemonade? Well sign me up, because I fucking love lemonade!

Heartless bitch. Obviously she has no compassion, or common sense. And hopefully voters will be so disgusted by her lack of concern for other women that they keep her out of the Senate. 


Angle: Rape victims should use their pregnancies as a way to turn lemons into lemonade.
