The level of bias is breathtaking.

Opinion is heartily mixed with occasional facts, in this State Run Media (ABC) article.

I seriously expect the following news headline from ABC by the end of the year: "Republicans Suck. They Are Demons From Hell. They Eat Infants."

[Lazamataz]

Doing your job, today. LOL

[GeronL]

What part of “no funding or abortion” do these people not understand??

Even the Republicans don’t really seem to get it.

[broken_arrow1]

"Raped" by her boyfriend, who she is still living with, qualifies her for government funded abortion?

[EternalVigilance]

Any politician who says they think it’s fine to butcher babies, no matter who pays for the butchery, should be impeached. In fact, they should probably be incarcerated as a danger to society as well.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Rape is only really rape if it involves force, according to the new House Republican majority as it now moves to change abortion law.

Rape involves force. Statuatory rape does not involved force. WTF?

[Red Badger]

Eventually a “blood libel” will come from their talking heads..............

I seriously expect the following news headline from ABC by the end of the year: "Republicans Suck. They Are Demons From Hell. They Eat Infants."

...With ketchup.

[Objective Scrutator]

The opinion that one should be pro-life with exception to rape/incest/health reasons/etc. almost makes less sense to me than being pro-abortion. By that logic, one should go around euthanizing the elderly and children who receive inadequate care simply because they’re ‘burdens’ on a family economy. I’d hazard a guess that many of these people who want abortion ‘exceptions’ are indifferent towards the coming death panels Obamacare is going to be mandating.

Why is the financing of the murder of unborn children a federal concern anyway? There is no interstate commerce involved.

a woman walks into a pawn shop and hands the worker a diamond ring. After inspecting it, the jeweler says “I’m sorry, but this is not a real diamond.”

The woman screams “Call the police! I’ve just been raped!”

[freespirited]

Feminists have already redefined rape ... to mean later regrets about a consensual act (among other things).

[PghBaldy]

The first thing that jumped out at me, is the term “frcible rape,” which is a perfectly reasonable, descriptive term, which has been in use for many years, by Dems and Reps alike I am sure.

[Elwood P. Doud]

Got the message, conservatives - why do you still watch ANYTHING on ABC?

[Darren McCarty]

There's very clear definitions in each state. They are creating a controversy that isn't there. "Forcible rape" is the old common law definition that almost always refers to anything that isn't strict liability (statutory). That includes date rape, drugs, etc.

I'm going to possibly take some heat here, but I go a lot further than the bill in my stance. Abortion should be banned and the only exception should be the life of the mother. Babies are innocent. They don't choose their sperm donors.

[antiRepublicrat]

There used to be a quasi-truce between the pro and anti-choice forces

Obscene bias. Neutral would be to use each camp's terminology for itself, thus pro-choice and pro-life. The author clearly states his bias as soon as he uses one camp's term for the other. Also no attempt to get a quote from the authors, only the opposition. At the very least a responsible journalist would have the last sentence be something "Calls to the authors of the bill were not returned."

[Venturer]

I guess they mean what Whoopi calls Rape-Rape.

[A CA Guy]

Force and that they file and not withdraw a rape report with the police, so if they live with the rapist their rapist goes to jail (if it isn't a croc to begin with).

[Grunthor]

If you were going to have an exception for rape, it would have to have been reported to the police and a rape kit done at the ER.

Just saying “I was raped” wouldn’t cut it.

[Fantomw]

First, there should be absolutely no federal funding of any abortion... none,nada.

Second, I am fairly sure the “left” democrats, under the guise of Whoopie Goldberg, redefined rape.. after all, if it isn’t “Rape Rape”........

[sniper63]

So, are they going to use the “Whoopster’s” definition and call it rape rape?
