The Theological Roots of Akin’s “Legitimate Rape” Comment

Rep. Todd Akin’s statements on “legitimate rape” and his position on restricting abortion ... that it should be illegal in all cases — is shared by a significant number of Republicans...


63 percent of Republicans think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases according to a new poll...


Drilling down further, a quarter of Republicans take the absolute position that it should always be illegal.

I have to admit that there are some on the right that support women having choice but they either won't speak out due to pressure from the radical right or they have left the party.

That's one for your side. How do you think this will go if no one stands up and says NO to the crazies?

you're so dishonest you can't even admit i ASKED you a question and did not make an accusation. i made it perfectly clear with the word right and the question mark. seriously, you're pathetic. and my second sentence, which you dishonestly left out, also clearly shows i was asking a question.

notice how zappa has now completely ignored the actual discussion and resorted to his typical insults and lies. what a two faced punk.

He's given the chance to have an honest discussion with me on the subject, but all Yurt can do is respond with is the same tired taunts and insults that permeate his every post.


Poor, pathetic Yurt...LMAO!!

ZappasGuitar said:
Yeah, that's right Yurt, I support the legalization of murder...LMAO!


And you wonder why we can never have an honest debate...


As I've said numerous times, it's the woman's CHOICE and it's no business of anyone else what her choice is.

no. he immediately lied about what i said, then attacked me.

i tried once again to have civil conversation with zappa and once again....he fails to rise to the occasion.
 
Republican Representative Todd Akin won the support of social conservatives in his effort to stay in Missouri's U.S. Senate race.



Akin met members of the Council for National Policy, a coalition of conservative and evangelical leaders, in Tampa, Florida, as the controversy over his remarks on rape and abortion threatened to harden into a standoff between some Republican leaders and social conservatives.



Akin spent Wednesday night and Thursday in private meetings at the group's two-day summit, CNN reported.
