As bad as Romney was, Allen, Mourdock and Atkins were worse. Not because they were liberals, just the opposite. They were professed conservatives who expressed views on abortion which were so bizarre that they set the pro-life movement back substantially.
And worst of all the lost us the senate of their BS. Really screwed us.
First is that Akun and Murdoch really didn’t address abortion it was comments about rape. That said they can take as much credit for this poll as any hag on Emily’s list. Their misogynistic and factually untrue statements were used against us. They gave the enemy the rope.
Exactly. As a long-time pro-lifer, those peons and their bizarro comments bear no resemblance to the (mostly female) antiabortion activists I’m familiar with. They are stereotypical good old boy politicians who should have been retired years ago.
Most urban, modern liberal types have limited contact with the pro-life movement and people like that simply play into the totally bogus stereotype of pro-lifers being old white men who have a tin ear for women’s concerns.
