"Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students "for being homosexual or transgender." They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for "cross-dressing," by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts."

Instead, Bonevac writes, because pregnancy is the result of "voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse,"

So apparently you can't get pregnant when you're raped. That's great to know /s

If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

I’m not confident that dipshit could even point out a vagina in a police lineup.

Edit: he’s dead so he definitely can’t

Awww man, I missed the news of his funeral. How sad.

[–] NOT_RICK 24 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Unfortunately for him, his body didn’t have a way of shutting his prostate cancer down for him

[–] Plague_Doctor 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

His must have been a legitimate cancer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

He certainly was.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan 4 points 5 months ago

That's on him for consenting to prostate cancer /s

[–] BrokenGlepnir 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So the thing is, your body actually can do some things about cancer. It is just really spotty unfortunately. Humans bodies still have nothing for shutting down rape pregnancy though.

[–] NOT_RICK 1 points 5 months ago

From what I’ve read rape is actually more likely to result in a pregnancy than consensual sex. Ain’t that a kick in the teeth?

Let’s keep dismantling the education system and see if this fixes things

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That fucker doubled down on that too admitting that he regretted his apology and stands by being a fucking dunce.

[–] acetanilide 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow. I wonder if he thinks that human vaginas have crazy twists and turns and dead ends in it like some other animals do

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait, they do? Damn, I'm always learning about how weird evolution is!

[–] acetanilide 2 points 5 months ago

Yep! Ducks and pigs are the two I think of. I recommend using the keywords "reproductive system" and not trying to google duck/pig penis lol. You might get some images you don't want to see. Or maybe you do want to see it, what do I know?

Humans on the other hand...pretty straight forward. Unless you are a "real Republican" in Texas, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Gosh, I wonder what party he belongs to.

[–] Chocrates 3 points 5 months ago

I am so sad that this is burned into my brain.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

By this logic they should be perfectly fine with any sex that can’t lead to pregnancy, right?

Right?

Right?
