It's frightening on every level for a woman if Mitt Romeny and Paul Ryan get elected. We might as well move to Afghanistan. They are planning on incorporating a constitutional ban on abortions in almost ALL cases, including rape and incest. How truly disgusting is that? So, they are saying that if a woman gets raped they are going to force her to have the baby if one is conceived?
I highly doubt it, but I'd like some other input. Thanks.
I’d start by asking your left friend for her source.
Ask her how they are going to do that. They can’t pass a constitutional amendment by themselves.
First, tell your ignorant friend president's don't get to change the Constitution at their whim. If they could, our current boy-king would have dispensed with that inconvenient document 4 years ago.
To do what she suggests would require a Constitutional ammendment. The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention.
So the Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).
Basically your dumb-assed friend needs to grow up and learn how her government actually works. Only then will she be capable of rejecting the hysterical hyperbole constantly spewed by the unhinged commies. Or she can go spend a year in Afghanistan - either tack will gain her a greater appreciation for her sorry life here in America.

That’s in the official Republican party platform.
Don’t waste your time on her garbage and dump her as a friend. She is your enemy and is spewing nonsense in an attempt to completely eliminate your individual liberty.
Ask her how a President “institutes a constitutional ban” on anything? If she is referencing a constitutional ammendment, then it would require a 2/3rds approval in both houses and then ratificatoin by 2/3rds of the states.
Just explain how very difficult it is to amend the Constitution. Does she really think three-fifths of the states would vote for this?
Liberals always decry violence when it's convenient to them. An abortion after a rape is just violence against another innocent. A rape victim knows first hand the horrors of violence perpetrated against a innocent person, and yet rather than promoting empathy, mercy, or compassion, the left says "pay the violence forward". "That hurt you feel won't go away until you hurt someone in response."
Liberals are such compassionate people.
Let me add one more thing, and this one you can actually use as a response to your left friend.
After you let her know about the process to ammend the const, then you can tell her that there is a way to ban abortion immediately. All it takes is creating a 15 member board to approve all medical procedures, making sure the members are not elected and instead appointed by the President. Then all we have to do is make sure that panel is stacked with 8 members that are pro-life. After that, the board can simply deny abortion as a medical procedure.
Ooops, her Obamacare did that! Now all we need is to pack the board that is scheduled to be fully implemented next year.
