Ron Paul, presently in the Republican race to be president of the United States, appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Show and made some very controversial news. Morgan put a hypothetical question to Paul…what would you do if one of your daughters were raped and became pregnant.
“If it’s an honest rape, that individual should go immediately to the emergency room, I would give them a shot of estrogen.”
We’re not sure what “honest rape” is, or what the defining line is for determining the difference between honest rape and, say, dishonest rape. But this we do know. Ron Paul and his brand of Republican/Libertarianism, should be seen and not heard. We as a nation would be much better off, without such nonsensical comments coming from the mouths of these so-called political leaders.
