Talking points Memo has the article Rep. Steve King: I’ve Never Heard Of A Girl Getting Pregnant From Statutory Rape Or Incest.
A 1996 review by the Guttmacher Institute found “at least half of all babies born to minor women are fathered by adult men.”
Rep. King is willing to make all sorts of legislation without having personally seen a case, but on this issue, he must have a personal telling of a story before he will consider legislation. As Stephen Colbert might say, “Is this unbelievable, or is this the most unbelievable thing you have ever heard?”
Why do we allow people who are as ignorant of the facts of life as Rep. Steve King is to make legislation about sexuality? There should be a test of biological knowledge of all Congress critters before they are allowed to vote on, let alone propose, any such legislation. Maybe we need a voter ID law for Congress critters.
