During an appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan, GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul was asked whether as a man with daughters and granddaughters, Rep. Paul (R-TX) thinks that abortion is warranted if a woman has been impregnated by a rapist.
“If it’s an honest rape,” Paul replied, “that individual should go immediately to the emergency room, I would give them a shot of estrogen.” He claimed, however, that if a woman is “seven months pregnant” and says that she was raped, “It’s a little bit of a different story.” Source
I think its pretty obvious what he meant. I think its pretty obvious he’s right.
Ping,
Paul even describes how he would perform the abortion in the case of ‘honest rape’.
Ron alter Paul is a freaking moron.
Ron alterPaul is delusional, I am beginning to think he needs to be put away.
You are as moronic as alterPaul.
How things evolved:
First there was “rape”.
Then there was “rape rape”.
Now we have “honest rape”.
What terminology will they think of next?
Not surprising. His pro-life credentials were shaky, at best.
Irregardless, this demonstrates alterPaul is NOT pro-life.
alterPaul is a fracking fraud.
So you support executing children for the crimes of the father??
Sick
The way this is going, the PC police will call it “Permission Challenged Intercourse”
I am beginning to not like Ron Paul. He has no chance to win.

Yup.
“Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005)
Voted NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime. (Feb 2004)
Rated 56% by the NRLC, indicating a mixed record on abortion. (Dec 2006)”

Why is Ron Paul against a parent deciding what’s right for their minor child?
It’s obvious what he mean’t. I can understand taking offense because well, it’s Wrong Paul....but I believe that the majority of American voters would agree with his sentiment.
Oh, I absolutely understand what he meant.
If there’s an exemption for rape (and I think there should be), it should be rape and not someone just claiming rape after sex with a boyfriend that resulted in a pregnancy.
People will abuse anything.
Don’t know what “honest rape” is and I’d bet the human being Ron Paul says it’s all right to abort doesn’t either.
Pathetic!
Irregardless?
