Well, yesterday was International Women's Day and so gubernatorial loser St Sen Mastriano pandered:

But let's not forget that he's still this guy:
When responding to whether or not abortion laws should have exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother, the candidates split in their responses. Mastriano and White say no to exceptions, while McSwain and Barletta said they would have exceptions. In his response, Mastriano said, “I don’t give way for exceptions either. Kathy Barnette, she’s going to be our next U.S. Senator, she is a product of rape.”
Two points to make:
- A 14 yr old girl is raped by her uncle. Doug Mastriano would force her to give birth. The decision would not be hers or hers and her parents. It would be Doug Mastriano's.
- An otherwise healthy pregnant woman discovers that hers is an ectopic pregnancy. Doug would force her through to the end of the pregnancy, at great risk to her health - despite the fact that, with an ectopic pregnancy, the zygote/embryo/fetus always dies. The decision to end that pregnancy would not be that woman's, or that woman in consultation with her Dr. It would be Doug Mastriano's.
This is Doug Mastriano.
