    They wrote it in proposed legislation, several times, okay, many times. Ryan and Akin are twins on the issue of denying women’s rights, with a “guys rule” attitude.

    BTW: Ryan also considers one of his idiot bills that got a 250 to 16 vote “bipartisan”! HAR! But that’s just his idea of “balance” as well.

    That little point of hair on his forehead makes him look like Eddie Munster’s evil brother.

    Maybe now someone in the Republican camp (other than the ’leadership") will actually read the party platform.

    Dem Libs would shut down, if it was not for their Illusions.

    You’ve got this ’toon pegged, and I agree with you.

    Think about it, it may come to you…if you turn off your prejudices.

    And the lie is Ryan had anything to do with this. Another reason to vote against O.

    Ryan has nothing to do with this? Really? So he isn’t sponsoring a bill that would outlaw ALL abortions, including in the event of rape?

    You mean besides the fact that Ryan and Akin co-sponsored anti-abortion legislation that excluded rape unless it was “forcible”? You don’t even know WHAT you are voting for, because you get all your news from Tush, Inannity, and Faux Noise.

    What statement are you making? The article was appropriate in that it shows what Aiken should do, withdraw as Gauhtier has done. However, his enounter was apparently consentual sex with a male minor. Had it been rape I would have understood your reasoning better. Or was your point that Gauthier is a Dem? Rep Steve King® stated yesterday that he’s never heard of pregnancy resulting from statutory rape. At least the young man Gauthier was with doesn’t have to worry about an unwanted pregnancy.

    I don’t agree with them, but it’s a simple, logically consistent point of view to ban all forms of abortion under the old maxim “2 wrongs don’t make a right”. These convoluted, back-assward crazy statements about “women won’t get pregnant unless they want to”, one kind of rape is “better” than another, etc. just make them seem ignorant and nuts.

    The one exception the pro-lifers really have to consider is for the health and safety of the mother. Simply denying there ever is a concern for the health and safety of the mother is another point that makes them sound nuts. Before 20th century medicine, giving birth was one of the leading causes of mortality among women.

    It was noted this morning that Ryan’s so-called “bipartisan” plan wasn’t passed until he dropped his precious “forcible rape” language. So although he’s not an outlyer by any means, most Republicans have more sense of shame. Now he’s trying to say “rape is rape.” Then, why make such a big deal over the distinction for so long when it was clearly offensive? And why Etch-a-Sketch it now?
