During an appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan, GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul was asked whether as a man with daughters and granddaughters, Rep. Paul (R-TX) thinks that abortion is warranted if a woman has been impregnated by a rapist.
“If it’s an honest rape,” Paul replied, “that individual should go immediately to the emergency room, I would give them a shot of estrogen.” He claimed, however, that if a woman is “seven months pregnant” and says that she was raped, “It’s a little bit of a different story.” Source
Thank You Joya, The rapture may be today! :)
You think I’m pro-rape??? Congratulations, Billy Budd! You win the award for the most assinine thing I think anyone has ever said to me. But, apparently you believe in punishing the innocent, with a death sentence no less, rather than the guilty. Let me ask you this. What did an innocent unborn child conceived in rape ever do to deserve having it’s life taken in abortion?
Why should the mother be punished for being raped? She should be allowed to get an abortion and the criminal liability for the abortion should be passed on to the rapist.
