Is he losing his mind? Seems like it.
No … pearl-clutching "FReepers" worried about "optics" will whine and cry and piss themselves …
But truth is truth, and it's long past time to quit apologizing for it. I don't have to look too far back in my known family tree to find some dubious circumstances of birth. If you were to go back in time and abort so-and-so, I and a whole lot of cousins wouldn't exist.
“He is probably statistically correct.”
I doubt that.
The population of the world depends on rape and incest?
Say that out loud to yourself. Don’t say it where anyone else can hear you, like Steve King did.
Wait... you kinda already did.
WELL... according to the Bible he is correct. NOAH’s daughters got him drunk so they could rape him and we are the results of that rape and incest.
Because they are pushing for any child conceived of rape to be aborted.
You are condemned to death because of what someone else did.
Not scriptural and not legal under US law. We certainly do not kill the already born children of criminals. We should not kill the pre-born either.
Depends on?
No. Nobody said that.
Is descended from?
Don't be so sure of your ancestry … You honestly think it's all pure Godly love all the way back to Adam and Eve?
Yeah … you just keep tellin' yourself that.
Some folks think there’s no bad argument to be made for some topics.
I don’t agree that it’s a great argument to make the claim that none of us would be here without rape or incest.
Yeah, we may not be here, both other children would have been born by other means.
He’s probably arguing against abortion, but taken another way it sounds as if we should be less objecting to the acts of rape and incest.
That would Lot, not Noah...
Well we just lost this seat.
Factually that is probably very likely.
Not nice but likely.
If we executed all those people there probably would not be many if any people left in the world.
This guy needs to retire or his seat’s going blue in 2020. Total Roy Moore/Todd Akin/Richard Mourdock at this point.
bttt
What Bible are you reading?
He makes sense, like lug nuts on a birthday cake.
King makes me so glad I don’t live in Iowa anymore. What a STUPID thing to say on his part and he’s an embarrassment to Conservatives.
Ping
I think he’s almost certainly correct. I also think that was a really dumb thing to say politically. Had he simply said the latter part that the circumstances of a baby’s conception are not the baby’s fault and as a human being their life was still sacred, it would’ve been much more difficult to take issue with.
Steve, you used to be a star player, but now you keep scoring points for the other team.
It's time for you to stop embarrassing Republicans.
“I’m assuming it’s surrounded by some sort of weird context.”
It was a very awkward attempt to take away the rape or incest argument for pro-abortionists.
Consider his enemies. They have a track record as liars.
Also, weep as you review Genesis 19 and Gensis 38.
History is.
