Beneath all the hysterical extrapolations from his remark, which grew wilder and wilder as the days passed, lay that essential demand: approve of killing unborn children conceived under circumstances of rape or be deemed "anti-woman."

Ping!

There was a post on FR which explained the meaning of Akin’s remark about a woman’s body having some protection against pregnancy resulting from rape. I won’t remember them all, but here’s a partial list:

A woman can conceive only 3 days out of each month; some women are on the pill; some women are either too young or too old to conceive; some have had surgery to prevent conception; and some rapists prematurely lose their seed. All of which reasons are ignored by the press which is controlled by the libs.

So Akin was right when he said a woman’s body had certain protection about becoming pregnant through rape, but the Republicans are not defending him.

"At first I felt (Akin's comments) were offensive to women and insulting to my intelligence," said Lisa Payne-Naeger, a member of the conservative Missouri Grassroots Coalition, who has an online political radio show. "What changed it for me was the Republican establishment's effort to chop him off at the knees and install one of their own in the race."

somewhat sums up my own position...not that mine or any other blowhard here matter much except holdonnow who does have a real audience

speaking of talk radio..80% wobbly would be my guess just listening

Objections about right or wrong, or arguments that Clinton was worse aren't the main consideration here.

What is most important to consider is the way the Obama Media will use (and IS USING) this issue to aid Obama and to damage all republicans and conservatives, especially Romney.

Sometimes, when fighting the good fight, you have to make a choice between winning the battle at hand or winning the long war.

Once you win the war you can get right a wrong in legal and ethical ways.

It’s the mentality. Winning at all costs often means aborting the inconvenient and sometimes the inconvenient are those of your own party.
