They do think that fool Akin and his chorts will force raped women to bear any forced pregnancy that results, at gun point....They're going to need powerful medicine to wipe that image out of their minds.

Are you well read on abortion? It doesn't seem like you are. This from the Elliot Institute:

Although pregnancy weakens suicidal impulses, there is strong evidence that abortion dramatically increases the risk of suicide. According to a 1986 study by researchers at the University of Minnesota, a teenage girl is 10 times more likely to attempt suicide if she has had an abortion in the last six months than is a comparable teenage girl who has not had an abortion.(2) Other studies have found similar statistical significance between a history of abortion and suicide attempts among adults. Thus, the actual data suggests that abortion is far more likely to drive an unstable woman to suicide than is pregnancy and childbirth. --Elliot Institute

Much more at the link. Why not learn something about the hazards of abortion before you pop off with crazy remarks? Abortion kills a child and does enormous emotional damage to the mother. (Add in rape, and an abortion is all the more tragic.)

Junk science from a slanted so-con think tank.

I wanna see peer-reviewed NEJM-level proof.

Which doesn’t exist of course.

LOL! The very first sentence of the cut is flat out wrong. In general, when the teenager gets pregnant they are not happy, because they now have a big problem on their hands that they do not have sufficient resources to deal with. That increases the risk of suicide, not decreases it. Add rape as the cause and the sentence becomes the utterance of a raving mad idiot!

"Abortion kills a child"

An embryo, or slightly thereafter is not a child unless designated as such by the parents, or the mother in the case of rape. This is esentially contraception. If the mother doesn't want the pregnancy, she is not required to believe that the embryo, or early stage fetus is a child, and should not be required of her to commit her body at gunpoint to nurturing a pregnancy that she never wanted and was forced upon her against her will. Forcing the pregnancy is no less than the equivalent of forming an allegiance with the rapist to violently insult her very being.

That's what folks understand and are reacting to after having that image burned in by Akin's remarks. They would rather put up with ugly thieves rather than vote for someone that makes it clear that they'd bring to life such a viciousness and deluded tyranny and blow it off with ignorant magic uterus BS.
