That, by the way, is a plank in the Republican party platform and has been for years

No, not in the context of this discussion it is not. This will be the first time ever that rape is not exempted in the Republican party platform. A huge mistake in my opinion.

I'll even predict right now that in very short order, more people will recognize the mistake. The Democrats have already latched on to it and dubbed it the Akin Plank. There is a ton of political mileage to be gained from this, and you'd better bet that the democrats will milk it for every vote that it's worth.

You are just wrong. An exception for rape was not in the party platform 4 or 8 years ago.

I am used to disinformation from the left but, frankly, I am shocked at the amount of disinformation coming from conservatives, to harm one of their own no less.
