President Obama Responds To Republican’s War On Women – “Rape Is Rape”

President Obama on Monday called Rep. Todd Akin’s remarks about rape “offensive” and sought to tie the Republican Senate candidate to the GOP presidential ticket.

“Rape is rape,” Obama said at a White House press briefing. He called Akin’s comments “way out there.”

Defining rape, he said, “doesn’t make sense to the American people and doesn’t make sense to me.”

“What I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn’t have a bunch of politicians, the majority of which are men, making decision that affect health of women,” Obama said.

The Obama campaign said Ryan supported a constitutional amendment that would ban abortion in all instances, including in the case of rape. It also said Ryan, who opposes abortion except in cases where the mother’s life is in danger, had worked with Akin on tough anti-abortion rights legislation.

“The underlying notion that we should be making decisions on behalf of women for their healthcare decisions … that is a significant difference in approach between me and the other party,” Obama said.

Ron Paul Thinks “Honest Rape” is Okay… Dishonest Rape Is Apparently Not Okay

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.
