"  Well, here&amp;#039;s your daily WTF?! moment.  At a presentation held by the American Civil Liberties Union, Idaho  representative Ron Mendive, R-Coeur d&amp;#039;Alene, asked ACLU reps if their pro-abortion stance also means that they support prostitution. You know, because those things are so much alike. Apparently, his (flawed) reasoning behind his query was that both abortion and prostitution are choices women make in regards to their bodies. Except that, he says, in the case of abortion, there are &amp;quot;two beating hearts&amp;quot; involved, whereas in prostitution there is only one. Thank you, sir, for that helpful analysis.  This isn&amp;#039;t the first time that an Idaho lawmaker has seriously shoved his foot into his mouth when it comes to women&amp;#039;s reproductive rights. Last year, Senator Chuck Winder told the Senate: &amp;quot;I would hope that when a woman goes into a physician with a rape issue, that that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage, or was it truly caused by a rape.&amp;quot; Seriously, dude? Wow. (Winder later claimed that he was &amp;quot;misunderstood.&amp;quot;) Honestly, what is it with these guys? And why do they keep getting elected into major positions of power?
