Akin’s Opposition to Rape Exception Vs. Obama’s Infanticide Support

(HT to Erick Erickson at RedState.com for the headline. I’ll get to Erick’s excellent post in a sec.)

Right now I am in Sioux City, Iowa, preparing to begin a 10 day, 30 city, 6 state bus tour today with the Susan B. Anthony List team.

My entire focus and role on the tour is to expose Barack Obama’s radical support of infanticide as part and parcel of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, as he saw it and said it. As Illinois state senator Obama opposed the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act, designed to give abortion survivors constitutional rights. Obama said giving premature born babies rights would be unconstitutional. Period. That’s what he said. Read page 86 of the senate floor transcript, when Obama was the only senator to speak against Born Alive. Read what Obama said very carefully:

Whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection Clause or other elements of the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a – a child, a 9-month-old – child that was delivered to term.

That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it – it would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute. For that purpose, I think it would probably be found unconstitutional.

Obama’s support of abortion to the point of condoning infanticide could not be clearer. It is grotesque, barbaric, sick and yes, crazy. It is the radical belief of our current president of the United States.

And the press continues to minimize, distort, rationalize, or ignore it, because the press is pro-abortion and likes Obama.

But the press will take a guy who believes babies shouldn’t be murdered because their fathers are rapists and call that guy grotesque, barbaric, sick, and crazy.

Which brings us to Missouri U.S. Senate Republican hopeful Todd Akin, who admirably opposes a rape/incest exception for abortion but who explained his position Sunday in a way that appeared calloused toward rape victims. Wrote Erickson in a great piece this morning:

Todd Akin, the Republican Senate nominee in Missouri, made an inarticulate and rather dumb statement about rape and abortion on television in Missouri. He subsequently clarified his remarks. Congressman Akin, like many devout Christians, does not believe in a rape exception for abortion.

Naturally, the very same left that gave Joe Biden a pass on his “put y’all back in chains” comment is horri[fie]d by Todd Akin’s remarks.

Todd Akin was inarticulate. Some are now accusing him of being pro-rape. The people horri[fie]d by Todd Akin’s remarks are, I’m sure, thrilled to have a President who defended infanticide. I’ll take Todd Akin’s inarticulate remarks over an infanticide supporter any day of the week.

LifeNews.com Note: Jill Stanek fought to stop “live birth abortions” after witnessing one as an RN at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. That led to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act legislation, signed by President Bush, that would ensure that proper medical care be given to unborn children who survive botched abortion attempts.

Rebecca Kiessling: International Pro-Life Speaker, Attorney

Rebecca Kiesling was conceived in rape but her mother chose life. She is now one of the most outspoken persons on the right to life for those "conceived in rape."

Todd Akin is being attacked, taken out for one mistaken
remark when he is a man for life, all life, no exceptions
and there sits Herod our President and sickening Romney
and his “con” of I am for life now, pay no attention to
RomneyCare, I am taking you all for fools.

Thanks for this thread NYer.

Obama: 'Rape is rape'

And abortion is murder.

Obama: "Don't want my daughters to be 'punished' by a baby"

Akin is a egotistic greedy jerk

Any fool knows his crazy statements are raw meat for Obama and Claire Mac -

To reverse Obamacare and beat Obama we need the Senate and Missouri votes

Akin dreams of many six (6) year terms in the US Senate

He insists he can only win in Missouri

He is an “engineer” who says “I once heard a doctor say.....”

Cut off his campaign money and throw him under the bus

Obama and Mac knew he would explode

He did

He now endangers all Republican elections across the USA

You never go on a TV show and start babbling about abortion when asked a question by the media

Republicans were ahead in this Senate race - Akin has changed that and built a mountain for another Republican to attempt to climb

Mac was the 51st vote for Obamacare

You can spout your purist baloney - but in the end you are just a loser when winning is necessary

Todd Akin is pro life so he must be destroyed, many Freepers seem to agree. The war is over pro life lost.

“Akin is a egotistic greedy jerk

And Romney isn’t? Have you watched him praise his own mother for supporting abortion?!! Mitt is a habitual liar, a flip flopper, say anything to get elected and you’re ready to vote for him.

[Wayne07]

If you support Akin you are helping Obama, and indirectly supporting infanticide. If you are pro-life and have any common sense, you will call for Akin to drop out so we can get someone who will can beat Claire McCaskill (voted for obamacare).

[pallis]

I haven’t paid any attention to Akin, but it is hard to believe he meant what came out of his mouth. That would make him as nutty as Biden. Too bad too, because the rest of his point was one that needs to be made. The death cult of the left uses rape as an excuse to justify tens of thousands of abortions that have absolutely nothing to do with rape or medical considerations.

Go ahead and support Obama

Get 2-3 more radical lefties on the Supreme Court

That should be great for the purists on FR

With open borders from Obama the Mexicans will soon form an unbeatable voting block majority for the democrats for the next two centuries

You can then sit and blame everyone else as abortion will be eternal

I suppose you will come up with a new option to beat Obama in November

You can’t win by losing..

Hi,

Why do you trust Romney? The vile that has come out of his
mouth *there’s a film record* and the actions to go with. And besides the pro-abortion, pro-sodomy record, Mitt has for all his life believed in the crazy sect of Mormonism. There aren’t multiple Gods, we don’t become Gods. Koo-koo.

Evil somehow is winning again...~~!

Akin makes one wrong comment and corrects himself, apologizes and everyone wants to get ride of him. These times, Akin is the one who follows God, he is totally for life. A baby is a baby no matter how it is conceived.

I am going to believe in God’s election “miracle”

[Wayne07]

We are taking about the MO senate race, not Romney. If you don’t trust Romney, which you probably shouldn’t, it is even more important to elect a republican senator, and dump Clair McCaskill. Unless you are telling me Brunner or Steelman are pro abortion, or have less of a chance to win, you gotta dump Akin.

[stpio]

It’s diabolical, we have Joe Biden daily and the uproar over
Akin and his one comment. What can you do but pray? Akin
should step aside, Claire McCaskill has to go.

Another diabolical, people are fooled by Romney. Things will
not be better if he is elected. Pray for a miracle, God can
act, change the situation. If everyone prayed for this intention.

In Europe Patton did what all the other brass said he could not do -

He did not analyze what his superiors said or thought

He got his butt in gear and moved his tanks - he swiped allied gasoline - he moved

He saved the Airborne troops

-

I the Pacific - McArthur had ignored to obvious threats and he lost his men and the Phillippines

When the allies moved west they hopscotched over some islands and they encountered huge deaths and injuries on desolate islands that had to be taken for airfields

Little Harry S Truman pushed the button and smoked Japan with no delay when the B-29s were ready and loaded with the big ones

In a war you must first accept that there will deaths and severely injured soldiers

If you try to save the weakest soldiers you will never get off the beach or take the hill

There is no victory without losses to a ruthless enemy like Obama

You cannot take the time and effort to excuse a man that has compromised much - if not all - of your mission

You will never defeat open abortion or reverse Obamacare or save America without shedding a lot of blood

Obama’s plan - as is the DNC’s plan - is to flood America with ilegal aliens without going legally through Congress to grant amnesty or even hold hearings - much less vote

Obama and the left want as many Americans (and illegals too - Thanks to President GW Bush) dependent on food stamps - SNAP programs - WIC, housing, medical, dental, the list never stops

Right now Obama has increased those Food Stamps (SNAP) by about 45% (corrections welcome)

Without booting out Obama America will keep falling deeper in debt and even now over 50% of the “residents” of the USA are getting freevies and income from the (now) minority (mostly) white working fools that let it all happen

Praying is great - but Jesus said “Sell your robe and buy a sword”

Several of his disciples carried swords

Can you quote a verse where Jesus told his (armed) disciples to run down to the Roman centurions and “turn in their swords”?

If you do not think that Obama - who marched with the New Black Panthers - knew their agenda is to kill whites - including babies - just GOOGLE Search up that crazed NBP woman’s audio she broadcasted on the radio

You can play the Jewish gambit in the 1930s and wait for the camps and the ovens

- Or you can pick up your sword and unite under the only two men that can defeat Obama and start dismantling the crapola that Obama’s XOs and his Congress and the 99.999% radical left media have dumped on your children and grandchildren and America’s future

I have my circa 1861 CW sabre close by on the wall - five feet from me is my big Colt .44-40 single action revolver

I forget where my robe is

But no crazy creepy lefties are dumb enough to attempt to enter my abode

I am ready

When and if I need to take instant action - I will not hesitate and pray first

I can slice and dice and perforate the muzzies with museum quality arms

When the smoke clears I will only then take my time and silently review the 23rd Psalm in my head

We can all argue when Obama is hiding with billions of your dollars in some distant land that has no extradition agreements with the USA

It is time for Americans to go sell their robes and sharpen their wits and swords
