CBS NEWS February 7, 2015 Republican Lawmaker: Childbirth Resulting From Rape Is "Beautiful"
A Republican state legislator from West Virginia said Thursday that women should not be allowed to abort pregnancies resulting from rape because the child that could result from it is "beautiful."
"For somebody to take advantage of somebody else in such a horrible and terrifying and brutal way is absolutely disgusting," said West Virginia Del. Brian Kurcaba during a hearing on proposed new abortion restrictions, CBS Charleston affiliate WOWK-TV reports. "But what is beautiful is the child that could come as a production of this."
Kurcaba later said in a statement that his comments didn't fully represent his views, WOWK-TV reports.
"I apologize to anyone who took my comments about the sanctity of human life to mean anything other than that all children are precious regardless of circumstances," he said in the statement.

Nothing like a deliberate misquote.
It doesn’t sound like he is disputing what they quoted him as saying.
Child birth, no matter the circumstances of the conception, is beautiful. One doesn’t depend upon the other.
That's not a quote. That's a deliberate misquote.
I'm tired of this gossip game - it's just bread and circuses so we won't notice that Obama is a Muslim and fighting for their side.
Ah, the headline, yes you’re correct.
It’s a distortion rather than a misquote. They try their darndest to make it seem like he said that the act of rape is “beautiful”. The lib media is shameless and vile.
Unlike the Rats, the Republicans will all line up to destroy this guy.
....did Brian Williams write/say that?
Yes, the child is beautiful, regardless of the conception. Why is this even an issue?
When a woman chooses not to kill her child who was conceived by rape, it *is* beautiful.
Children have absolutely no choice about how they come into being. They don’t deserve to be killed for it.
“For somebody to take advantage of somebody...”
I have never thought of rape as taking advantage of somebody.
It’s not an issue. Liberals are so desperate to kill inconvenient babies that they lose all logic and sanity.
All he said was killing a baby, any baby, is wrong, now who besides a Democrat can argue with that?
Baby-killers have been throwing RAPE!!! in the face of pro-life politicians for only about 45 years. Someday some pro-life politicians is going to NOT BE SURPRISED.
“See BS” in action, again. Where the only question they ask of conservatives is “Have you stopped beating your wife?” and the only question they ask liberals is, “Do you love your adoring audience?” And then they either distort the answers or refuse to report - whichever is deemed most harmful to America.
All while they watch America burn from the fires their propaganda created.
Sick.
Any newborn is more beautiful than any abortionist.
There was a furor like this some time ago when someone said that God creates the children of rape. And the narrow minded harpies didn’t even think that God creates all children.
