Please ignore this if you are so "outraged" about Akin that you cannot dissect things more rationally and logically.
Akin made a legitimate mistake, in his choice of words. There are no legitimate rapes. A rape is a rape, whether it was legitimate or statutory. A rape destroys life -- the life of the victim. If the rape inadvertently creates life, then that should be cherished as a sign of something good out of something horrible.
So, murdering a child conceived via rape is still worth saving. By turning the rape into murder is evil. The grieving victim of the rape has no right to turn her grief on an innocent child who has absolutely no fault. The child is blessed like all children conceived.
If conservatives back now from this, they will give tremendous ammunition to the abortionists (including the Obomney wing of the GOP). Axing of Akin might be a short term victory, but it will damage the pro life movement by altering the PRINCIPLES that actually matter!
Wow! You really believe that women should not be able to vote. One can only imagine what this background consists of.
Ooh. You have a degree. Pardon me. Using your brilliant logic, blacks should not be allowed the vote, either. What other brilliance did you pick up in school?
LOL My oldest son did that when he was about 4 only used a bobbie pin and stuck it in both sides, he let out a yell and I saw a fire ball shoot across my kitchen....His guardian angel had a tough job but he has made it to over 50.....(the bobbie pin melted)
