In this Saturday, March 23, 2019, photo Missouri State Rep. Barry Hovis socializes during the 50th annual Lincoln Day celebration at the Osage Centre in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Hovis was met with hisses when he used the phrase "consensual rape" during a highly charged House debate on a bill that would ban abortions at eight weeks, including in cases of rape and incest. Hovis, of Cape Girardeau, said in the chamber Friday, May 17, 2019, that most of the sexual assaults he handled before retiring from law enforcement weren't strangers "jumping out of the bushes" but instead "date rapes or consensual rapes." Abortion-rights supporters who attended the debate hissed in response. (Jacob Wiegand/The Southeast Missourian via AP)
