There isn’t really much editorializing needed, other than maybe the title of the piece. Here is the quote.
“Incest is so rare, I mean it’s so rare. But the rape thing, you know, I know a woman who was raped and kept the child, gave it up for adoption and doesn’t regret it. In fact, she’s a big pro-life proponent. 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 a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?”
— Washington congressional candidate John Koster (R), quoted by the Seattle Times.
