This guy might be a moron, but his heart is in right place. Why punish the innocent baby for the crime of a rapist?
Why? Because the majority favors exceptions for life of the mother, rape, and incest.
I agree it’s not a consistent pro-life position to favor exceptions for rape and incest, as the unborn is no less innocent, but people hold all sorts of inconsistent views. It’s not worth losing elections over.
Should Romney win, we can’t give him any excuse to nominate anyone to the Sup Court who isn’t a known and solid conservative jurist. Not having a Senate majority might be the excuse he needs. And Akin has just made it a lot harder to win the Senate.
His Heart might be in the right place, but his Brain is obviously out to lunch.
Akin should step aside immediately. The easy answer to this question is to say, “The banning of rape abortions will NEVER be an issue before Congress, and it’s not part of my campaign.”
To demand Akin’s ouster is not throwing him under the bus; he has already thrown himself in front of an Amtrak train, and there’s nothing left of him to save now. Bob
