Okay, I'll admit. David Vitter didn't literally say abortion laws don't impact on women, but he came pretty damn close.

As I wrote earlier, Vitter is coming under new fire in the controversy over why he didn't fire aide Brent Furer after learning that Furer had stabbed an ex-girlfriend. According to new reports, Furer was responsible for dealing with women's issues -- including domestic violence legislation.

Even though Furer met with anti-domestic violence activists last month, Vitter denies that Furer had any responsibility for issues affecting women.

On its face, that's obviously bunk, but it gets weirder...because Vitter does admit that Furer was responsible for all issues related to abortion.

So Vitter says Furer had no responsibility for issues affecting women, but not only has it emerged that Furer (after stabbing his ex-girlfriend) worked on domestic violence legislation, Vitter himself is now admitting that Furer worked on issues related to abortion.

And yet Vitter somehow thinks abortion is not an issue that matters to women. It's enough to make you wonder whether he has any clue whatsoever how human reproduction takes place. In case he needs a hint about the birds and the bees: there is no stork, and it's women who get pregnant -- not men.
