Speaking of Mindless Twitter

Rick Santorum advocated for outlawing abortions even in the case of rape because “one violence is enough.”

[...]

“That child is an innocent victim,” Santorum replied. “To be victimized twice would be a horrible thing. It is an innocent human life, genetically human from the moment of contraception. We in America should be big enough to try to surround ourselves and help women in those terrible situations who have been traumatized already. To put them through another trauma of an abortion, I think is too much to ask. So I would absolutely stand and say that one violence is enough.”

  Raw Story

I suppose they’ve been too traumatized by the rape to make a decision for themselves about the abortion.

Also...

For years, the Houston Police Department has conceded about 4,000 rape kits — all untested — are stored in a property room freezer, but a recent inventory shows there are potentially thousands more containing never-examined evidence from sexual assault cases.
