Video: In Texas 'rape kits' debate, the sound of abortion politics - The Maddow Blog'via Blog this'

Texas bill's sponsor, Republican Representative Jodie Laubenberg, found herself making this argument last night about why she opposed adding an exception for women who have been raped (apologies for the quality of the video, which is after the jump):
