Although he repeated that rape is horrible, Santorum said rape victims should "accept what God is giving to you. ... we have to make the best out of a bad situation." Ron Paul said he'd accept emergency contraception in situations of "honest rape." As opposed to all those women who just lie about being raped, I guess. And earlier this week, a Fox News commentator, discussing increased sexual assault in the military, mocks "feminists" who should have expected the dramatic rise in assaults, then gives an eye roll over women "being raped too much." What the hell?

Not to mention in states like Virginia, Republicans are trying to mandate transvaginal ultrasounds for women seeking an abortion. Democrats would be committing political malpractice if they didn't build a narrative around the GOP's "anti-women" positions and statements.
