Exactly. What bothers me is that they are touting their ignorance and using it to justify some laws that are plain wrong.
Trent Franks is a prime example here. He makes an assertion regarding perceived pain with fetuses at 20 weeks. Actually given that the structures and the nerves that are involved in pain perception simply are not developed and won't be for another few weeks. Moreover his arguments against including a rape provision is laughable and directly contradicts medical findings. The incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low, http://www.politico.com/story/2013/06/trent-franks-incidence-of-rape-resulting-in-pregnancy-are-very-low-92650.html In fact the incidence of pregnancy resulting from rape is about 20% greater than consensual sex according to the research http://www.scribd.com/doc/147467455/Rape-related-pregnancy If people are going to sit on the Science and Technology committee they should know something about it in the first place. (BTW I have not commented on the other republican members of the House Committee, but they're beliefs and attitudes towards science is about as looney, and in a couple of cases more so.)
