A far-right Republican state senator explaining his opposition to a bill that would grant an abortion exception for rape or incest told his fellow lawmakers, a “1-year-old could get an abortion under this.”Senator Bill Eigel, a pro-Trump Republican who is also running to become Missouri’s next governor
In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.
Yeah, my phrasing was going to be a little different, but say the same thing: if a 1 year old needed an abortion, they absolutely should be able to get one.
Tell me you don’t understand the
basic anatomy and physiology you are regulating
without telling me…Oh my god… If you haven’t watched the video at the bottom, you should. It is so much worse than just the little quote about 1 year olds. This man is either mentally ill or knowingly evil and I’m not sure which.
It’s both.
“I don’t support the institutions of rape or of incest. But your amendment doesn’t address those,” Eigel said.
The “institutions” of rape and incest??? These are institutions to him, that he simply “doesn’t support” (as though “supporting” – or anything less than vehemently opposing – is equally valid)?
(Institution: a custom or tradition that has existed for a long time and is accepted as an important part of a particular society)
Of course they are NOT institutions in any civilized society, which has sailed right over this amoral dimwit’s head.
If ever a motherfucker were a walking argument for retroactive abortion, this is the guy. Even when he’s trying to act sincere, his indifferent language tells you he has no problem with the realities behind child sexual abuse, rape, or even abortion at all. Jesus fucking christ.
Sexual access to your own daughter is really the corner stone of the Abrahamic religions. Just look at how far the Amish are willing to go to maintain that tradition.
I wonder if this is part of their confusion campaign? We read it as a 1 year old could get a abortion but they will spin it as 1 year Old abortions and scream " how could you abort a 1 year old?"

Apparently we also need BadBabiesAnatomy now.
Uhh… does that dude want to rape a baby?
That still wouldn’t make the baby pregnant though
I know that. You know that. I’m not sure Bill Eigel knows that.
Obviously not, he could rape a baby under the abortion bill too.
He wants to rape a baby AND force it to carry a child to full term.Its Missouri, so…
So he wants to rape HIS baby, not just any, unrelated baby.
He is a Republican.
Which means, if he did, it wouldn’t be the end of is political career.
How else do you get a dinner invite from Matt Gaetz?
He’d have to marry the baby first though.
So it’s a yes then
“Republicans: saying the quiet part out loud since 2015.”
Dude, you wouldn’t fucking believe it. I was at the clinic, killing my baby, and there was this fucking toddler doing the same thing. I mean, I’m a fucking grown man and I paid for my partner to scramble the brains of our unborn child, as is our right. But this little kid was there, doing the same thing. Couldn’t have been more than 4yo.
STOP TINY CHILDREN FROM KILLING TINIER CHILDREN.
I mean, at some point, you just gotta have a limit.
If Dave Chapelle from the early 2000s wrote that post it would have ended with “Go home baby!”
I mean, its a toddler.
Damn freeloading rugrat.
You know tax payers are paying for that abortion.
That toddler’s OnlyFans isn’t even making enough for its own formula and diapers.
/S
It’s 2024. Add the /s for sarcasm
should this have a /s or does the first one count. really though. as a sarcastic sob I just can’t top what is normal for some folks.
a bill that would grant an abortion exception for rape or incest
… 1 year olds kids.
Nevermind the fact that 1y.o. aren’t fertile, normal people go their entire lives without ever thinking about impregnating 1 year olds.
And yea, if you somehow magically got a 1 y.o. pregnant, I sure as fuck hope they’d be able abort.I’ll never understand why they are more opposed to abortions for minors, who definitely didn’t consent to sex and are more likely to be harmed by the pregnancy in so many ways.
You know exactly why.
So I do believe there is a significant and even growing misogynist/ child-bride/patriarchal-women-as-breeders-every-man-deserves-at-least-one element among Republican policy makers. But, I think the majority of Republican voters aren’t looking at the specific intent of these bills and simply think it will never happen to their daughter because fill in the blank superiority complex, and that’s what really pisses me off. Evidence of a well-fortified barrier to empathy.
Do I? They can’t all be pedos, can they?
They wouldn’t use that word, no.
They don’t believe there is such a thing as not consenting to sex if you’re female.
Don’t conservatives always complain about how liberals don’t understand guns and therefore shouldn’t regulate them?
They don’t have principles, they have goals, and will say anything they expect to further those goals.
I literally started screaming in my head (though, to be fair, most of my internal dialogue is just screams these days) , “WELL IF SOMEONE SOMEHOW GETS A ONE YEAR OLD PREGNANT, OBVIOUSLY THEY SHOULD HAVE AN ABORTION!” And then this guy’s mom should have a really, really late post-term abortion. What the fuck is wrong with with conservatives?
What the fuck is wrong with conservatives?
We have large swaths of the American electorate who are just plain broken people. They’ve spent their entire lives being unjustifiably afraid of everything, from jack-booted liberal thugs busting down their doors to steal their bibles, to gay marriage somehow interfering with straight marriage.
Seriously, look at any list of political issues someone can believe something about, on any topic, and you can determine the modern Republican position on any of them by asking yourself two questions:
- Is there a position on this issue that’s driven by stupid, irrational fear?
- Would incredibly basic, rudimentary education clear that fear away?
If the answer is “yes” to both, then chances are, you’ve identified the Republican position on that issue.
Trump sure likes’em stupid, huh?
From what I’ve gathered, he actually doesn’t seem to, but stupid sure likes Trump, so he works with what he’s got.
He loves the poorly educated.
Also, I’d guess that stupid people are more likely to actually uncritically worship him, while smart people are more likely to put up a facade of doing so to get something from him, a mask which eventually slips or conflicts with them getting what they really want, at which point they get thrown under the bus.
“The kid I raped could get an abortion under this!” he said with wildly misdirected outrage.
They don’t have to make sense, their only aim is the inflame their base of morons.
“1-year-old could get an abortion under this.”
“Odd take, but okay Senator, how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion? What age should a child victim have to look forward to, under your version of this legislation, that they know they could abort their rapists baby?”
how old do you think a raped child or a child victim of incest should have to be before they are allowed to get an abortion?
just to add: these are the same thing. A minor whose the victim of incest was also raped.
Abortion should be compulsory for anyone pregnant under 13. That’s the age we set for protecting children from the dangers of social media, and pregnancy is a heck of a lot more dangerous than that
