The first thing you need to know is that Texas House member Jodi Laubenberg (R) sits on the Public Health Committee.
The second, this quote by her was reported in the Daily Kos by Brainwrap.
This statement is dangerous and ill-informed.
Rep. Laubenberg contact any one of the thousands of registered professional nurses certified as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. S/he will inform you what occurs during this forensic examination. Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) are registered nurses who have completed specialized education and clinical preparation in the medical forensic care of the patient who has experienced sexual assault or abuse.
Rep. Jodi Laubenberg you are obligated to educate yourself on the care of victims of sexual assault.
Until then, please remove yourself from further conversations about their care.

It is appalling some of the comments and quotes I have heard from politicians recently regarding rape, women, and women’s health. These are the people running the government…disturbing.
