Yes, that cuts to the nub of the matter right there. He is running for the Senate. I would hope he would have worked out how he would respond to these matters in advance (maybe have some sort of voting record to point at?), and it's apparent from his babbling about it ever since he had not done so. Something better than what Whoopi Goldberg would come up with.
And when Ryan is pressed for his opinion on abortion in the case of rape, what would you like him to say?
I'm sure Paul Ryan can handle himself, so let's see how he responds. Thanks to the goof Akin, he is sure to be asked now, and not in a straightforward kind of question. "You're on record, Congressman, as being against abortion even in the case of rape. Don't you agree with your Missouri colleague that a woman can't get pregnant from being raped because her reproductive system seizes up like a 72 small-block eight Chevy with a blown oil pump?"
This is how a "local" deal like this can screw up the rest of the country.
Yeah, if not for this, Republican presidential candidates NEVER would've been asked their position on abortion in an unfriendly manner by the MSM. LOLZ
>> I would hope he would have worked out how he would respond to these matters in advance
I completely agree.
