RE :”The reporter asked King about a bill he put forward last year that would have barred federal Medicaid funds from going towards abortions except when the life of the mother is in danger or in the case of “forcible rape.” (The current law just makes an exception for “rape,” without the forcible part.) The new terminology would most likely prevent people who become pregnant from incest or statutory rape—when an adult has sex with someone under the age of consent—from accessing Medicaid-funded abortions. King told the reporter he didn't know of anyone who had become pregnant under those circumstances.

I been watching the spin on this both sides and it looks like yet another case (100+) of Republicans taking on a ‘conservative’ position to please a segment of voters then not having any idea how to defend it to general voters. The polls show most voters sympathize with rape victims and Republicans are now stuck dancing around this issue making fools of themselves because they never thought out how to explain the issue to general voters, Akin taking the lead.

This is like illegals bringing their kids over and their kids immediately become victims of the system. Republicans have no idea how to debate that issue either.

when trying to play the 'shades of gray' game, one finds themselves being in the mushy middle more often than not...

if these peckerwoods had any real moral convictions, and simply stood on that, theyd at least be taken seriously as being somewhat honest/trustworthy...

the progressive commies have no problem standing their ground on every failed issue, not the least of which is their "pro-DEATH" policy for anything besides animals and serial killers...

rule of law doesnt allow for shades of gray, neither in our Republic, or in Gods court...

Maybe..just MAYBE...these idiots need to be wary of whenever there’s a microphone near them...and when the question is asked, just use Obama’s answer “That’s above my Pay grade”.

From now on, that’s should be the answer - the same one Obama used - “That’s above my pay grade”.
