Comparing Rape/Abortion to a Flat Tire

Rep. Pete DeGraaf: Being Impregnated During a Rape Is Just Like Getting a Flat Tire

Sounds pretty mean to me.

The last paragraph of that article is no better than a blog rant. Whilst it seems like a stupid comparison to make given how emotional the issue was, the title of the article is completely misleading. He never said anything like being impregnated during rape was like getting a flat tire, he was clearly making a comparison about the need to be prepared for the possibility of things that are outside of your control occuring. It was a stupid remark, but I would say that the intelligence of the speaker is about on par with that of the author of that article. They're both abysmal at what they do.

not to mention it was in a political debate, which is off limits in OT.
