I don’t know why candidates let themselves get suckered into answering those kinds of questions. They could simply say that rapists should be punished, the baby is innocent, the mother is innocent, and he is not going to comment on it further. Or he could say that he is not King Solomon or God, so he is going to decline to meddle in a difficult situation which should be between the woman, her God, and her doctor. Lots of ways to approach this.
Maybe they should reframe the issue by explaining the history of the abortion movement. It was a racist and bigotted movement. Elites felt that certain groups should not reproduce.
Which party supports murdering babies of color? Same party that supported the Klan. Democrats.
I am convicted that it was a ‘secret test of character’ for Mitt Romney and that God wanted him exposed as his enemy. Well, it succeeded. Akin and Mourdock were honest and preached the faith that God brings rain on the righteous and the wicked, and Romney and all the ‘non-believers’ sacked both for preaching the faith.
Akin and Mourdock will be blessed for sticking with God. I am sure of it. Romney will fade into obscurity, and this time 2 years from now - all those attacking Akin and Mourdock will be the same. Akin and Mourdock passed their tests. Romney failed.
