GOP Rep: Rape exception not necessary because rape kits will 'clean her out' | God Discussion

I hope that after this statement she is no longer on the public health committee, as it is clearly evident that she has no clue; uniformed and uneducated in the basics of public health issues,,,

It is not some sort of anti-pregnancy clean-out kit, cannot unimpregnate a woman, and consists of absolutely nothing even remotely connected to the termination of a pregnancy.

If Laubenberg had bothered to familiarize herself with this, which she could have done by simply typing the words 'rape kit' into any Internet search engine, she would have not said,

“If a woman is raped… We have hospital emergency rooms. We have funded what’s called rape kits that will help the woman, basically clean her out. And then hopefully that will alleviate that.”

She was questioned about her comments, and asked to clarify her belief that a woman can obtain an abortion at an emergency room via the use of a rape kit.

Laubenberg went on t0 clarify herself by stating her understanding that a rape kit is like a D&C, which is one of the methods of terminating a pregnancy, thereby equating a rape kit as being a method of abortion. There is a video at the end of the article of the exchange.

What's even more alarming is that Laubenberg sits on the Texas House Public Health Committee, and is the Chair of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
