Trump endorsed (of course) Michigan GOP Gubernatorial Candidate thinks a pregnant fourteen year old victim of incest has not been traumatized enough and should be forced, by the state, to carry to carry to term her father’s, or uncle’s, or brother’s child because… freedumb!, or… oh, whatever…
And she’s leading in the primary polls.
Christ.
“In an interview that first aired last week, Michigan’s leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, Tudor Dixon, said that a 14-year-old incest victim was the “perfect example” of her justification for a nearly total ban on abortion access in the state.
During an interview with journalist Charlie LeDuff, host of the internet talk show “No Bullshit News,” Dixon, who formerly worked in the steel industry and as founder of a “pro-America, pro-Constitution morning news program” for children, doubled down on her previous statements that she opposes abortion in all cases except when necessary to save the life of the mother.
Asked by LeDuff about a hypothetical situation in which a 14-year-old girl became pregnant as a result of sexual abuse by a family member, Dixon said, “Perfect example.” She went on, “Because I know people who are the product. A life is a life for me. That’s how it is. That is for me, that is my feeling.”
Hold the phone just a sec, Sister Dixon.
You know someone that is the product of incest? Er… I’m gonna need some documentation of that. I mean, I guess it happens but I do not personally know anyone that has been a product of incest. Much less one born to an eighth grader.
I call bullshit on that, lady.
Perhaps not surprisingly, another Michigan Republican candidate for Governor is trying to position himself to the right of Dixon on the impregnated middle schooler issue…
“To moderate and progressive politicos in Michigan, however, Dixon’s comments are par for the course in a Republican field that has tilted far to the right.
“It’s not particularly shocking and it also doesn’t really differentiate her much from the rest of the Republicans she’s running against,” said Michigan Democratic spokesperson Rodericka Applewhaite. “They have all pushed pretty extreme anti-choice agendas.” One of Dixon’s opponents, far-right pandemic skeptic Garret Soldano, declared this winter that rape victims should recognize that “God put them in this moment” and the child that could result from their rape “may be the next president.”
Yeah, Soldano, given the make-up of today’s Republican Party I guess anything is possible.
And if the child-rape is sanctioned by the GOP God himself who are we mere mortals to object to that child being forced to give birth?
The Republican Party’s descent into madness continues apace. How long will we have to wait until it vomits forth a candidate who insists that all children should be the products of incest?
At most, I would conjecture only a cycle or two…
Hey lady…if you forced my 14 year old daughter to give birth for ANY GODDAMN REASON, you would have bigger issues than running for office. I do agree that you should run however. Far, far away.
correct me if I’m wrong, please, but wasn’t incest more or less what brought down the Egyptian Pharaohs? Creating humans with all manner of birth defects?
Not just the Egyptians. European royalty inbred for generations and produced some real messed up progeny.
Yeah, the last hereditary emperor of the holy roman empire (or Hapsburg-I forget which but does it matter?) was a drooling, gibbering idiot due to WAAYYY too much inbreeding. In fact, that the two boys from the british royal families married people very far from the very shallow gene pool the family normally wades is a smart thing to do.
Idiots like this broad in MI need to be removed from the gene pool before they pollute beyond any home of cleaning. Breeding ought to require vigorous testing and licensing procedures rather than just some moronic twat like this this one merely having to spread her legs. Trust me, it’d be a very good thing.
Ritual marriages of sisters and half sisters, but they had lots of concubines.
PLEASE let there be someone in a live and on-camera situation have the guts to stand there right next to/in front of her and ask “So how many years of incest did you endure while growing up, and was it your father, brother(s), uncles? To be so certain, so decisive you MUST have personal experience to be so sure of your position so who was it and when?”
She would of course explode in outrage as would her supporters. To hell with her and them.
But I want to see her howl in outrage. And if she insists that nothing ever happened to HER then hit her back with “Then you don’t REALLY know what you’re talking about. What a victim goes through and will have to live with their entire life. So just who made YOU God with the power to tell people who have suffered despicable abuse what is or is not important and how to deal with it, including whether they should be forced to bear a child resulting from incest?”
How many pregnant 14-year-olds has she met, that she can say this with any kind of seriousness?
I was,a junior high librarian. There was a,beautiful 8th grader sho borrowed books frequently. When I hadn’t seen her in a month, I asked her tracher.. She had dropped out because,she was,pregnant. At 13.
The one thing that actually gets children out of poverty is education for women. These bans guarantee a girl.who is already poor will.stay poor,,and and so will.her kid(s). Most acts of first intercourse of girls pregnant under 15 is coerced. That means most girls under 15 who get pregnant are rape victims.
The GOP are requiring tweens,and very young teens to carry their rapist’s fetus to term.
The cruelty is the point.
I used to hear about a poor family of children that mostly were products of incest. Everyone in town that knew them, knew this. The little girls were so cute, but they were so slow that I don’t think they ever made it out of school. I guess the father/grandfather thought no one knew? It’s so sad for the children.
Another Republican idiot on parade, female this time. Males do not have a corner on idiocy. Mouth open spewing, sadly no information or facts, just rhetoric and nutball opinion.
And from the “steel industry”.
These people always have some type of experience in “tool and die” or something that requires no common sense….
A young girls pelvic floor / birth canal is not fully developed but the babies head keeps progressively pushing against tissue and a hole develops …… google the term
Obstetric Fistula
What about all of her fellow fascists that couldnt be on the ballot BECAUSE THEIR PETITIONS WERE PACKED WITH FAKE SIGNATURES?
Including the so called “police chief” who obviously has decades of experience lying to “judges”….
Tudor or four door, she doesnt have a chance but Michigan always enjoys a laugh at an idiots expense….
She stands with shitsfield, the state republiCLOWN “majority” leader recently arrested for having sex with his wifes 15 year old sister.
More “law and order” from the party of putin….
