"If we start forcing women to have babies when they have been raped, it will cause such social chaos - and these men who would seek to be in charge of our White House, our Supreme Court, and our United States Senate, are a danger to the health of women. Rape causes post traumatic stress disorder, suicide attempts, visceral reactions. I can tell you as a rape survivor, every time one of these buffoons opens their mouth, Chris, I really recoil, physically recoil, with how disgusting this is, and it brings up terrible memories."
