“The Akin Assault by the GOP is not just another indication that social conservatives are unwelcome in the Republican Party. It is an attack designed to destroy any voice they might have.”
AMEN! Exactly correct!
I’m sorry that Akin messed up, but in a way I’m glad. He has brought it into focus how the GOP only gives lip service to social conservatism. This incident has forced the truth to the surface.
He has made me re-evaluate my lukewarm position on abortion in the case of rape. I have given lip service to the idea of prohibiting abortion in the case of rape, but the attack on Akin has caused me to seriously consider the issue and I am now firmly in the "no exceptions" camp on abortion.
Abortion is murder and it cannot be justified merely because the father of the child is a rapist. It is God who gives us life. Who is man to take it away from an innocent child?
Thank you Todd Akin for accidentally drawing so much attention to this issue. You may have screwed up, but God will use it for good. In my life I know he has.
Praise God.
