If Paul Ryan can talk honestly about Medicare, then maybe some other Republican politicians can talk honestly about baby butchering.

Real conservatives can talk truth about abortion and phony rape excuse for baby killing without messing their pants.

I see a lacks of “non-wets” lately on this forum!

We’re here but its kind of pointless to interfere with the wolfpack when they’re in full frenzy.

I’ve read that Missouri is a strongly pro-life state, but even so, I bet the majority in Missouri favor exceptions for abortion in cases of rape.

Still, that position could be easily put up against McCaskill’s even more extreme support of abortion on demand for any reason throughout a pregnancy, imposed by the Sup Court w/o any say from the people of Missouri.

That’s a contrast of views and positions I’d take. I would welcome that fight. But Akin has ruined that, and given an eager media a reason to make this race about rape and abortion. Akin has turned a likely GOP pickup to a likely Democrat hold. Even if Romney wins, the chance of confirming conservative judges to the Sup Court just became a lot harder thanks to Akin.

I’m here too, getting flamed like a burger on a bakyard grill.

I'm not sure he was talking about phony rape excuses for abortion when he used the term legitimate rapes...I'm not sure what he meant. I've seen two differnet numbers on the incidence of pregnancy from rape. The CDC says about 5%. Several pro-life sources claim it is far less - between 2-400 hundred a year. Not sure what to believe.

What he said was not very smart. I doubt too many women use rape as an excuse for abortion any more no matter what he meant. He sounds like he's a committed pro-lifer, but he needs to watch his words. Using legitimate and rape in a phrase just does not make sense to most people, especially women.

Regardless, I'm not calling for him to step down.
