"Most reasonable people would agree that rapists should have no rights to a child conceived during their violent assault on an innocent woman. However, as they demonstrate time and time again, Republicans are not reasonable. In yet another demonstration of their ignorance and insensitivity when it comes to the plight of rape victims, an Iowa State Representative by the name of Chip Baltimore has deliberately held up a bill in committee that would automatically terminate the parental rights of rapists, dismissing it as “feel good” legislation."
