Via Think Progress, Republican Kansas state representative Pete DeGraaf thinks that women should be prepared to be raped in the same way that he keeps a spare tire in his car.
During floor debate over a bill to require women to purchase supplemental coverage in the event that they may need an abortion, a pro-choice state representative, Republican Barbara Bollier, questioned whether women would in fact plan for a pregnancy resulting from, for example, rape. To which DeGraaf responded, "We do need to plan ahead, don't we, in life?" adding, "I have spare tire on my car."
