Republican John Koster Opposes Abortion In Cases of Incest and "the Rape Thing"

At an Everett fundraiser with Congressman Tom Price (R-Georgia) over the weekend, 1st Congressional District Republican candidate John Koster was caught on audio frankly chatting about rape, incest, abortion.

Koster says that when a woman's life is in danger, "I'm not going to make that decision." But rape and incest are different, he says. "Incest is so rare, I mean, it's so rare," Koster emphasizes, that it's apparently not worth an exemption from the abortion ban he supports. And rape?

"But on the rape thing, it's like, how does putting more violence onto a woman's body and taking the life of an innocent child that's the consequence of this crime, how does that make it better? You know what I mean?"

Yeah, I think I know what you mean, John. You even said "the rape thing" twice. Rape... it's just a thing.

(Yup... this is the guy who the Seattle Times enthusiastically endorsed. Go figure.)
