“If a woman has (the right to abortion), why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t (in most cases) result in anyone’s death.”
Who would make such vile statements?
Maine Republican lawmaker Lawrence Lockman, that's who.
Here's his Maine House GOP page.
HuffPost reported that the lawmaker apologized for the comment.
Does he really think an apology will make this go away or make us think this is not how he really feels about women and rape? He is currently serving his first term in office. Let's hope Maine voters are perceptive enough to make it his last.
