the woman’s body shuts down and prevents conception? i mean whatever he said, however unartfully, it was ridiculous.
No matter what he intended it sounded ludicrous and has blown everything up, including his chances at being elected. this really is NOT about being prolife in cases of rape or incest any longer. Ardent prolife conservatives were appalled by what he said.
Do you have some names???
What he inarticulately stated was the reason for the ardent prolife position in the state of Missouri and why he and Ryan fought to change Medicaid rules regarding paying for abortions in the event of rape or incest.
Incidentally a physician at WUMC on the news last night said that pregnancy after a rape is rare.
Should we all get him to resign as well????
“Ardent prolife conservatives were appalled by what he said.”
I think they are the least that are appalled, I am NOT appalled, the guy is clearly pro life and believes in no exceptions as I did.
Anytime a truly pro life person is quizzed about whether or not they support exceptions for the life of mother (I do not feel well, I am stressed out), or rape or incest, it really is a red herring.
He should not have said that about the body shutting down/legit rape etc (I paraphrase), but his statements certainly did not appall me, seems to be a decent pro life fellow.
I was rooting for Sarah S for full disclosure.
Seems to me most of the left that are “appalled” are really only appalled by the fact that he believes abortion in ALL circumstances is wrong period, they only use the rape comment to vent their real hatred of pro life folks...that`s just how I see it
