Akin grew up in Missouri farm country, where rambunctious farm boys practice safe sex, they paint a red dot on sheep that kick.
Akin and Ryan have worked on a personhood bill together, this would make it murder for anyone involved in an abortion no matter the circumstance or danger to the mother. They also went after Planned Parenthood, even voting to cut off breast exam's.
The GOP platform has for about 20 years had as it's foundation the outlaw of all abortion without exception. Romney and Ryan yesterday both mumbled softly they would not oppose abortion for rape and incest, but this is not what they have said many times before, it's not the platform they run on and is in writing for every Reichwinger to uphold who runs for office.
So are they lying to the public, or to the Republican faithful? What is it with Republicans and their need to control a women vagina, breasts, health, pay, legal rights.
You can give, any amount, $3 if you want, to Clarie McCaskill to help her step on a rat. Google her re-election site, or search her at "act blue", by name, by state, lots of ways to find her there as well as all democrats running everywhere. I give a few races each time $20 or so, what the hell good is $20 to me if the GOP takes control. Use this site because it's easier than finding the individual sites. Look for really close races with a good Dem running, and open your wallet, you got a better way to spend a few dollars that might help the whole country? Tell us?

The platform reads:
ReplyDeleteFaithful to the ‘self-evident’ truths enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.
What amazes me is that zealots like Santorum in the GOP would make a rape victim who was impregnated by the animal that attacked her carry the child to term. Santorum suggested that she should accept the child as a gift from God given in a ackward manner.
DeleteHow more ackward can forcible rape be?
