Are we certain the 2 major parties are pretty much the same these days?

Because I see 180° polar opposites on most issues. Or am I confused and too biased?

hold on, don't be unfair to them.

pada has indeed stated that there are indeed differences between the two parties on "social issues".

i get the feeling that they would classify rape as a "social issue", completely ignoring the devastating impact rape has on its victims, which can cause years of turmoil affecting the victim physically, mentally, and financially.

after all, they have never had to pay for their own rape kit (thanks, palin), take multiple days off of work to abort their rapist's fetus because the government forced them to view a mandatory transvaginal ultrasound and then wait three days after being raped, drive halfway across the country on their own dime (twice) because republicans shut down every abortion provider in the area, pay for years of therapy to overcome the trauma of being raped, lose their job because they were unable to focus because of the trauma of being raped, or any of the other very real financial and economic consequences of being raped.

Rape is a social and criminal issue, not an economic one.

Or have I missed the politically correct definitions memo?

The Mississippi Republican Speaker of the House says there should be no exception to the state's ban on abortion now that the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down the five-decade-old Roe v Wade ruling. Asked specifically about 12-year-old girls who are victims of incest, Speaker Philip Gunn repeatedly stated his "personal belief" is "life begins at conception."

“What about the case of a 12-year-old girl who was molested by her father or uncle?” an Associated Press reporter, Emily Wagster Pettus, asked the Speaker on Friday, as the Mississippi Free Press reports.

Mississippi's ban on abortion "does not include an exception for incest,” Gunn replied, as the Free Press' Ashton Pittman reports. “I don’t know that that will be changed.”

Asked if "the Legislature should revisit" that part of the law, the Speaker responded, “Personally, no. I do not.”

“I believe life begins at conception. Every life is valuable. And those are my personal beliefs,” Speaker Gunn insisted.

Another reporter pressed Gunn further.

“So that 12-year-old child molested by her family members should carry that pregnancy to term?” Daily Journal reporter Taylor Vance asked.

“That is my personal belief. I believe life begins at conception,” the Speaker repeated.

Gunn concluded by saying he did not want his remarks to overshadow the significance of the Supreme Court's nearly unprecedented decision, reversing a civil right. He said members of the Mississippi House of Representatives were "going to celebrate that today."
