A New Hampshire state lawmaker is refusing to apologize for posting a sexually explicit image on Facebook [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/11/kyle-tasker-battered-women_n_4943880.html ] about "battered women," saying it was never meant to be a joke and is being misconstrued.

The exchange happened on the Facebook page of the Greater Nashua Tea Party on Monday. State Rep. Kyle Tasker (R) went into a discussion [ https://www.facebook.com/GreaterNashuaTea/posts/551870651586524 ] thread about the New Hampshire GOP's refusal to stand by state Rep. Mark Warden (R), who came under scrutiny in recent days for saying, "Some people could make the argument that a lot of people like being in abusive relationships [ http://www.wmur.com/politics/State-rep-criticized-over-domestic-violence-comments/19111056 ]."

Tasker posted a graphic [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/11/kyle-tasker-battered-women_n_4943880.html ] with a joke about "battered women [ http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/kyle2345tasker9320.png ]":



On Thursday, Tasker said he wasn't going to apologize for the post because his "intent was pure."

it's unfathomable .. the idea that all risks can be explained including the 'you may regret it later', the patient can say, yes, it's very hard and i might regret it later, but please, i choose abortion .. then to be able up to 10 years later 'regret' and sue the doctor .. that's ridiculous, and terribly unfair to the doctor .. no way out of that .. a back-door ban it is .. the other reply by F6 says it all of some GOPs .. disgustingly inane ..
