As I'm sure you're aware, South Dakota recently passed a bill banning
abortion which contains no exceptions for cases involving rape,
incest, or threats to a woman's health.
During an interview with PBS last week, State Senator Bill Napoli, who
strongly backed the bill, was asked if he could think of a real-life
scenario in which an exception may be made.
Here's what he had to say:

A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped,
savaged.
The girl was a virgin.
She was religious.
She planned on saving her virginity until she was married.
She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly
make it, and is impregnated.
I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and
psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her
life.

So let me get this straight:
Bill Napoli would still prohibit a woman from getting an abortion if
she was
a) raped but not brutally so - you know, by a kind, gentle rapist who
is attentive to her needs,
b) brutally raped, but not a virgin,
c) brutally raped, but not religious, or
d) not sodomized during the rape.
Yes folks, that is as screwed up as you think it is.
