Fact: Most politicians who vote against abortion are male and will never become pregnant.

Just letting you guys know, any who, if someone wants to get an abortion during the allotted time given that was made in the Roe vs Wade trial, then it is THEIR CHOICE. NOT YOURS. It is not killing, before 12 weeks, it has scientifically proven that that “clump of cells” has absolutely no feelings. One person’s rights end where another’s begin; no one has the right to say that a woman can’t get an abortion, and anyway, a rape victim more than likely doesn’t want to go have that daily reminder for nine months of a terrible event. A woman can get PTSD from that kind of trauma.

Paul Ryan is a typical Republican instigator of the War on Women. He does not care in the least about the rape victim, only about the policy of his party and his religion. He is essentially a better looking Todd Akin. I would not think any woman could, in good faith vote for him.

Looks like Ryan threw away his Bible…..abortion is now a matter of “policy”!

I seem to remember the republicans stating the President had no right forcing people to have health care…it was unconstitutional they said….and took it to court. Now, they feel it is right to enforce and to say …No abortions not even in a case of rape…that is not unconstitutional..??? While also saying we have too much government they have passed over 100 bills against women and many more have not passed. To me this represents WAY TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT. If it is your religious beliefs…fine..but you have no right to push your RELIGIOUS beliefs on others especially in the case of rape…some 12 and 13 year olds have been raped by family members and others …should they be made to continue with this pregnancy? No Way and if it were one of these so called religious nuts child who became pregnant through rape…you would suddenly see a really quick miscarriage?????

It is kind of hard to attack Aiken when you co sponsored the “Personage Bill” with this nut. He and Romney like to use the Sharon Engle tactic of not speaking of things they have no answer for. He also co sponsored a bill with McDonnell of Va. the “vaginal ultrasound bill”. This is how he thinks and yesterday the GOP adopted in their program for the campaign…No abortions to anyone even in the case of rape.” That has been adopted by Mr. McDonnell and agreed to by the panel so it is in the program of the GOP.

Mr. Ryan, you are a flip flopper!

Here’s the bottom line – if you don’t want an abortion, then don’t have one. If you don’t get pregnant (hint you are a man) then you don’t really get a say as you will never need an abortion. Feel free to spend all your free time and money adopting special needs babies who are already born.

Do not stand in the way of other people’s health care decisions or try to impose your religion on me.
Thanks a bunch!

“We don’t need more pills, we need more education.” Right on Joe. Unfortunately, the neo-Libertarian Republican Party wants to dismantle public education, along with funding for Planned Parenthood and rape crisis clinics. Eight years of abstinence programs under GW Bush didn’t work either. And since you state that the vast majority of abortions are socioeconomic, how exactly would the Ryan Budget – more military spending and less social services – help improve a poor woman’s options?

Don’t you think we should punish the rapist instead of the unborn? There is a active pro-life speaker that was born as the result of a rape. She will tell you that her life isn’t somehow worth less because of what happened. Abortions don’t reverse the rape or make the mother feel better about the rape, I promise that. Not to mention not every rape results in a pregnancy. The vast majority of abortions are socioeconomic. By comparison very few pregnancies are the result of some sex crime and very few actually put the mother at a high risk of death. We don’t need more pills, we need more education.

Paul must think he is risking his soul in the afterlife for political expediency. That must have to bother his conscience. I could never be a politician like that.

“We’re just defending the rights of unborn children, it’s not their choice they were born” … But if they are born “poor” – they’re on their own … “Right” – got it.
