The drive behind H.R. 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," is animated by one thing and one thing only -- the deep and abiding belief among its cosponsors that women are chattel.
Not even that "babies are great" -- many of the same cosponsors are those who'd wash their hands of the responsibility of ensuring those children got affordable health care.
Well, if you are a woman coerced, drugged or otherwise incapacitated by a rapist, too bad!
Every survivor who finds herself in need of abortion will have to submit her rape for government approval.
H.R. 3's language brings us back to an ancient, long-outdated standard of rape law: "Utmost resistance." By this standard, a rape verdict depended not on whether the victim consented, but on whether outsiders thought she resisted...
The people behind the bill are animated by the belief that their mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters are chattel.
