Congressman Steve King Also Says He’s Never Heard of a Woman Getting Pregnant Because of Statutory Rape or Incest.
Rep. Todd Akin appeared to be on his own in the controversy over his abortion and rape comments, but fellow Congressman Steve King has also put his foot in it after saying he’s never heard of a woman getting pregnant because of statutory rape or incest. Like Akin, Iowa’s King supported a House bill in 2011 that would have banned federal funding for abortion and would not have included an exemption for just those sorts of cases.
In an interview on Monday, he suggested such an exemption wouldn’t be necessary because he’s never heard of such a thing happening. ”Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way,” King told KMEG-TV Monday, “and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”

Just another useless Republican.
Like everyone else in the House, he’s up for re-election.
DON’T. VOTE. FOR. HIM.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m94gjdPYft1qcokc4o1_500.jpg)

I’m willing to bet than none of these “men” have ever heard of such cases simply because they refuse to listen to...
