Legitimate Rape—the term, casually used by Republican Representative Todd Akins as he explained that WE can not become pregnant via rape. I am not sure what is more shocking, the casual manner in which he stated such nonsense, the interviewer’s ability to maintain a straight face, the fact that this man is running for public office and currently serves on the House Science & Technology Committee, or perhaps the fact that many from within the GOP have the audacity to defend him.
As the RNC begins its weeklong conference, it is important to understand that the party has adopted a policy stance banning abortion in all cases---to include incest and rape. Do not be persuaded by Romney and Ryan’s pandering, as Ryan has endorsed anti abortion legislation such as the Sanctity of Human Life Act. Supporting a Romney/Paul ticket means that YOU believe all abortions—including those cases involving rape and incest—are wrong and that women should be held criminally responsible for undergoing abortions.
Romney has promised to defund Planned Parenthood and ban many basic forms of birth control. We must not allow any attempts to defund Planned Parenthood as they provide much needed services to include screenings for cancer, birth control, and treatment for STDS. Abortion accounts for only 3% of its services. Ladies we are the largest, most reliable voting block. There is a war on OUR BODIES and US. We cannot afford to be complacent in November and I hope our roar is heard near and far. The spotlight is on us…will you dance or remain a wallflower? The choice is yours!
