NAILED IT: Can We Sit The GOP Down Collectively And Make Them Watch This Video?

Statistically speaking, 1 in 6 women and 1 in 20 men will be raped in their lifetime - and yet we have politicians throwing around phrases like "legitimate rape" and looking to get rid of Planned Parenthood. Because that makes total sense.

This video is satire, but the nastiness is real; the creator pulled the dialogue from actual Internet comments. If this is how people in our country treat rape, is it really all that surprising that some of our politicians are so woefully ignorant about its realities?
