This email includes quotes from a member of Congress making light of rape and incest, which may be upsetting to some readers.
John,
BREAKING: Anti-choice Republican Rep. Steve King just gave a speech praising rape and incest as essential for the survival of humanity.1
Congressman King was advocating for his legislation to ban abortion before many people know they're pregnant. And 89 other anti-choice representatives have cosponsored his bill.2
We're calling on Steve King to resign RIGHT NOW — and we are gearing up to defeat his fellow anti-choice radicals in 2020. Will you donate $15?
Yes, I'l donate $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC to defend reproductive freedom and defeat the anti-choice radicals trying to ban abortion.
You really have to read Rep. King's comments to believe them.
Defending his bill to ban abortion without exceptions for rape and incest, he said:
What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that.
Yes, he really said that.
Worse yet, 89 other House Republicans are supporting his disgusting views by cosponsoring his legislation to ban abortion before many people know they're pregnant.
Anti-choice extremist Steve King nearly lost re-election in 2018. Now we're calling on him to resign immediately.
But in the event King doesn't resign, we must ensure he loses his seat in 2020.
Will you donate $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC to help to defend reproductive freedom and defeat the anti-choice radicals trying to ban abortion?
Thank you for all you do for reproductive freedom,
 Ilyse Hogue President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
