You can't make this stuff up. I don't care what your political leanings may be, this guy is an a-hole. Oklahoma Republican Rep. George Faught believes rape is "sanctioned by God" and that "women should appreciate the “gift” God is giving them" by force. Here's the thing- Women in Oklahoma are also IDIOTS who keep voting for and supporting this moron. GOP Rep. Faught cited the bible over and over to "prove" his point. It's time religion and idiots like this get out of politics for good. This is insane.Here's the story>>>

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A bill presented by Oklahoma State Representative George Faught would ban abortions of a "potentially viable child" in cases of Down Syndrome or other genetic disorders even if the child is a result of rape or incest.
Faught said "The Lord uses all circumstances" in defense of the bill when asked whether he believed rape and incest are the will of God.
"Well you know, if you read the Bible, there's actually a couple circumstances where that happened," said Rep. George Faught in response to the question about rape. "And the Lord uses all circumstances. I mean, you can go down that path, but it's a reality unfortunately."
When questioned about incest he responded, "same answer, doesn't deal with this bill."
"It's a great question," said Faught. "Obviously if it happens in someone's life, it may not be the best thing that ever happened, but you're saying that God is not sovereign with every activity that happens in someone's life? And can't use anything and everything in someone's life? I disagree with that."
