Congressman Todd Akin: “It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”

State Delegate Todd Gilbert: “Forcing women to have an ultrasound before an abortion is justified because they already made the decisions to be vaginally penetrated when they got pregnant”

Senate Candidate Tom Smith compares a pregnancy caused by rape to having a baby out of wedlock.

Rick Santorum: “Radical feminists have been making the pitch that justice demands that men and women be given an equal opportunity to make it to the top in the workplace.”

State Senator Glenn Grothman: “Women make less because ‘Money is more important for men’”

State Representative Alan Dick : “If I thought that the man’s signature was required… required, in order for a woman to have an abortion, I’d have a little more peace about it…”

Rush Limbaugh: “If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch”

State Representative Chuck Winder: “I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.”

State Senator Glenn Grothman: “In promoting those campaigns and materials, the board shall emphasize nonmarital parenthood as a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.”
