That is the yearbook answer for the GOP, nothing more.

Life liberty and pursuit of happiness vs. control of bodies is a yearbook answer of the GOP? You misunderstand.

No I do not.

The yearbook answer from the GOP is pro-life, turns out it is just pro-birth and they are willing to make even a miscarriage a matter for law enforcement and argue "consensual rape" (WTF that is.)

Consensual rape is an excuse some politicians use to allow all pregnancies to come to fruition because they think all life begins at conception and they think recreational sex is bad. If you don't know the meaning of consensual rape, it means the woman egged the rape on due to skimpy clothing, flirting, etc. Doesn't the Muslim culture believe in consensual rape?

IMO, mom's life is more important than the fetus who may kill the mom, although, there are very few justified terminations of pregnancies due to the health of the mother being gravely endangered.

Some GOP lawmakers think all fetuses are human life and deserve life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

This is the GOP that you disparage.

Those same GOP lawmakers don't think that actual living breathing women deserve life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and should be forced by rule of law to gestate, and give birth at risk to their own lives, health, financial health, and happiness.

The rub is you can't deny life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to someone to allow life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to someone else.

When is the mother's life in danger? Hardly ever. When is the fetus' life in danger? Always.

These guys find the GOP, and the GOP does nothing to rebuke them. Hillary was right, a large percentage of the GOP are deplorable. The fact that the GOP membership refuses to admonish or otherwise call out this thinking means they constructively sanction it, meaning most of the GOP is deplorable.

Agree with the bolded. In fact, that's how they got Trump!

That's why it's called "statutory" rape and not just rape.

Besides, the entire concept is based on the premise that the underage person can't give informed consent. In practice, that's not always true.

Whatever, it's rape.
