Ron Paul Tells CNN’s Piers Morgan Only “Honest Rape” Warrants An Abortion. (Honest Rape?)

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

Preventing a forced pregnancy is murder?

And I assumed the opposite of you.

My apologies.

Forced pregnancy is not enslavement?

Can you give me a list of other crimes where you believe that a man's child should be executed for his crime?

If YOU were accused of rape, which of YOUR CHILDREN would you choose to be put to death for it? Please be specific.

Do you have an argument here, or are you just entertaining yourself playing silly gotcha word games?

I don’t know if you saw the hideousness below from Jacques Cousteau:

http://twoday.net/static/omega/files/quotes_from_people_who_consider_us_subjects.htm

139.”The distribution of birth control devices and the imposition of mandatory abortion practices in the third world countries is now ecologically insufficient and unfairly out of world social balance. The white, upper and middle class females of modern society are too healthy and fertile to be exempted from some imposed regulation of international law or mandate. An American born child is environmentally too expensive to maintain to his or her adulthood in a world economy. American women must be subjected to some manner of regulation beyond licensing or immediate and mandatory abortion practices. Unconventional and extreme measures must be implemented and enforced by global U.N. mandate as it is deemed necessary.

The bodies of these world eco-criminals should be commercially yielded [rendered—turned into constituent parts] for reintroduction in the world’s natural systemic food and nutrient chains, in order to restore a more natural biological balance and order to our Sacred Earth.” — Jacques Cousteau, in his address to the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, 1992.

.

Folks, we are not just dealing with demonized creatures who slaughter babies by the millions.

We are dealing with a demonized elite . . . who reportedly bugger toddler boys and then slaughter the lads in a satanic worship ritual to join the upper ranks of the rulers.

AND

They REALLY HAVE SCHEDULED the mass murder of 100’s of millions of the earth’s citizens VERY DELIBERATELY . . . and even think of that as GOOD on behalf of saving ‘mother earth’ from humanity, pollution etc.

These are not decent human beings by the slightest stretch of the imagination.

We MUST remember that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal . . . but mighty to the pulling down of demonic strongholds in heavenly places . . .

Spiritual warfare is called for and essential. NOTHING ELSE stands a chance.

Other things may be worth doing but it is fasting and prayer that will achieve the most impact against such horrific evils from hell.

THE NAME AND BLOOD OF JESUS THE CHRIST EFFECTIVELY AVAILS.

Nothing else comes close.

Depends on how one defines abortion. Some people consider a condom to be a murder weapon.

Answer my question first

Okay, NO pregnancy IS NOT slavery.

By your logic ANY PARENT can decide that their children are "enslaving" them and put them to death.

Now, if YOU were ever to be accused of rape, which of YOUR CHILDREN would you want put to death?

Good strategy.

You just never know what fruit that might bear as they think about it.

My question was; “Is FORCED pregnancy slavery?”

And my answer was that, no, pregnancy is not slavery.

I'm sensing that reading comprehension is probably not one of your stronger suits, so let me know if you need further clarification.

I think a more appropriate question might be who else's existence should we be allowed to terminate if contemplating it becomes too difficult or painful?

Then perhaps you should define abortion.

I guess I better explain my views a little before this thread devolves any further. In order to avoid semantical arugment, all word definitions are common knowledge/use. I will not be arguing with anyone over the meaning of a word that everyone uses daily.

1. I do not support abortion on demand.

2. I would happily support a law over-turning Roe and (because it’s not the same thing) outlawing abortion.

3. I do believe in the rape exception with the caveat being that it must be a reported rape, it must be confirmed medically in a hospital emergency room and the victim should be counseled that she may be pregnant. I would even agree that she be told that the possible baby is innocent in this and she be encouraged to deliver and adopt the child out if she could not see herself raising a child that was forced upon her. I also believe that the “morning after pill” should be made available, once the rape kit and all counseling in the ER is complete. This would be the rape victims’ only chance to ensure that she would not be forced to deliver her rapists child.

4. I do not believe that a fertilized egg is a baby anymore than a fertilized chicken egg is a chicken.

Then why are you opposed to abortion at all?

If it's not a person, what's the problem with killing it?
