Not in Kansas, Anymore

Does it get any worse for us, than this?

During a recent debate over a bill that would make it necessary for women to buy separate, abortion-only insurance policies to cover the expensive procedure, some Kansas lawmakers questioned whether it was realistic to expect women to prepare in advance for a rape or an unplanned pregnancy.

Rep. Pete Degraaf (R-Mulvane), in response, compared an accidental pregnancy to a flat tire.

"We do need to plan ahead, don't we, in life?" said Degraaf during the House debate. "I have a spare tire on my car."

Someone really, really, really needs to tell me how to prepare in advance for an unwanted pregnancy that results from rape.
