Could all Republicans keep their damned mouths shut before the election or what?

Am I reading this correctly? Rape not cause for abortion?

Let’s hope so. The issue of rape has nothing to do with whether abortion is right or wrong. Whether abortion is right or wrong depends solely on whether you believe the unborn human being deserves the right to life. The right to life of a born baby is not dependent on how the baby was conceived. So why should an unborn baby lose their right just because of how they were conceived?

He makes a good point, which is ignored by the pro-infanticide lobby out there.

As a social conservative, I find it curious why we should “keep” quiet on defending the most vulnerable and innocent. I would, however, go further by advocating the immediate death penalty on those who rape!

Rather than ponder over your question, I took a different tack:

I just donated to the campaigns of Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock. (And Michele Bachmann for good measure, even though she committed no abortion question "gaffe" that I know of.)

This is my way of spitting in the eyes of the "gotcha" pro-abortion media. And elitist RINOs.

Why don’t they ask Bob Menendez? He’s probably had some experience since he seems to go for the under age girls.

The worst part is they are opening their mouths out of pride & ego, and ultimately it will cost lives because their seats then get won by Democrat scum that have no problem slaughtering the unborn. If our shared goal is to preserve the most innocent lives possible, then it is not only foolish but criminal to our purpose for these guys to spout off like this.

Has the AP covered Bob Menedez’s actual rape (statutory) of underage dominicans?

The way I look at it is what sort of DNA was in the baby the rapist had. Would it produce another rapist? Secondly, why should a woman have to carry to term a rapist’s baby???

So you would rather them lie when asked direct questions, and simply issue a “I was just campaigning” statement later to cover the change in position? I was taught that it is never right to do wrong to do right. Granted, they should rehearse the wording on their answers better, be better prepared for these questions. The Liberals and the Elites will keep bringing this up.

“But on the rape thing, it’s like, how does putting more violence onto a woman’s body and taking the life of an innocent child that’s a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?” Koster said in the exchange.

Koster’s campaign manager Larry Stickney says the candidate has long been a proponent of dealing strongly with sex offenders. He noted that Koster worked in the state legislature on legislation to crack down on sex offenders and has daughters of his own.

“To imply that he’s cavalier about the issue is preposterous,” Stickney said.

Are you implying that having been conceived by rape is a good reason to kill the baby?

(1) We need to be able to instantly quote the best crime and medical data available so we can state how many women must actually make this choice each year.

(2) We need to how many women CHOOSE to carry the child to birth.

(3) We need to know how many of these rape pregnancies were actually reported to police, were actually investigated by police, and were actually prosecuted in a criminal court.

(4) Most of all, we need a flawless, completely truthful, heartfelt political response to this issue.

I saw this story last night on the 10pm news. My wife and I looked at each other and said we couldn’t necessarily disagree with anything he said. We were wondering why it was even deemed a news story!

With that said, when the story was introduced the newscaster did say that this was “secretly” recorded or “off the record” comment that is now public. It sounded like he didn’t realize this was being recorded so he could make sure his “phraseology” was good.

I guess that’s all the democRATs have is secret recordings and binders.... Sheesh.
