IMO this is a non-issue, at least it should be as much as a non-issue as Joe Biden’s gaffes are. He misspoke, he didn’t mean that rapes aren’t bad, he meant that some activities of that nature (s3x) are consensual and not true rapes. Some are women crying “rape” when that is not what it was at all. See the lacrosse team down south.

IOW, it is not as likely that a woman would become pregnant under the conditions of an the actual, violent, horrific crime of rape. So the Dem politicians claiming that rape is a “good” reason for abortion is a non sequitur.

I don’t think you have any medical basis to support those comments about pregnancy...in any event it seemingly trivializes the whole concept of rape to put it in those terms, and it certainly is not something to have as part of a branding of the party or a campaign platform.

If he does not drop out and drop out soon, this could potentially turn into a monumental disaster for the entire party nationwide...it has certainly already taken some of the wind out of the sails on our side that this is now part of the national narrative.
