This is quite frankly downright embarrassing. Republican rep Jodie Laubenberg, during the Texas House debate over the anti-abortion bill it inevitably passed unfortunately, referred to hospital "rape kits" as abortions. I'm astonished at her absolute ignorance but I shouldn't be surprised by it really.

Here's the video of the session but the audio is horrible. It has the text underneath.

Let's be real, someone who is this clueless should be kept far far far away from legislation.

are you a big fan of "pro death" or are you simply "anti life?"

What's worse: Todd Akin was on the science committee.

Do you know what a rape kit is? What does that have to do with "pro-death" or "anti-life"?

The State of Texas has become accustomed Top having the snot slapped out of them by the US Supreme Court. This law will be challanged in the courts as soon as the ink dries.

Didn't Sarah Palin do the same thing when she was governor of Alaska?

Are you a big opponent of evidence gathering?

What do rape kits have to do with D&C and abortion?

I'm embarrassed for you. You have no idea what a rape kit actually is.

She is now the minority in this State. Trust me, she is the Chairwoman for ALEC in Texas. It's all about her. It's like a statement I read in a book: All for Me and None for Thee. Jodie is another retarded legislator who will lose her power based on Rick Perry playing Commander Abortion even though he lacks a vagina.
