same old republican't song and dance

Mitt Romney has taken a position that every woman in this country should know about:

When asked on Fox News whether he would have supported a "personhood" constitutional amendment, Mitt said, "Absolutely."

"Personhood" amendments are the notorious measures now being considered in states like Mississippi, Florida, and Ohio, that would elevate a fertilized human egg to the status of a legal person. They would ban IUDs, the morning-after pill, in-vitro fertilization, and all abortions -- with no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest or in cases where the life of a woman is at stake.

In other words, a leading candidate for the GOP nomination for president is on the record in favor of a law that would classify literally all abortions -- and even many forms of birth control -- as murder.

To be clear: This is the most radical position any of the Republican candidates have taken on this issue, and may be the most radical position any of them have taken on any substantive issue in the race for the nomination so far.

Mitt Romney is on the record in favor of a constitutional amendment on "personhood."

This radical measure would ban many forms of contraception, in-vitro fertilization, and all abortions—with no exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the woman is at risk.

He's made a choice to go this extreme—and we're building a team that's not going to let anyone forget.

By making an unborn baby a person, you must necessarily take personhood away from the baby's mother. There's no way to play it where you don't compromise her rights in some serious way.

It seems over the course of my lifetime, this country has gone backwards in a lot of areas.

Back to the days of back alleys and coat hangers.

Or we could build bigger prisons to house all those persons who assaulted their mothers just being born.

Just goes to show you how much these dudes hate women.

Roach · 11-04-2011, 12:31 AM

In my lifetime, the abortion issue (pro life vs. pro choice) has been brought up by republicans in every single election.

It's a ploy...a distraction, from current affairs/issues.

More than that, it goes to show how desperately the republicans need the Evangelical votes. Pro religion, anti-science.

With the programs they want to cut that benefit pregnant woman, that's even debatable.

Terry · 11-04-2011, 02:33 PM

Banning birth control?

Jesus, I don't even think the Catholics still hold onto that craziness, what is with the right always regressing?

Roach · 11-05-2011, 09:35 PM

^ they want to party like it's 1776.

Posted this in the random politics thread, but it seems relevant here.

You know the GOP is fucked when Pat Robertson says they've become too extreme.

the fact that you can even vote on such things is pretty scary(even if they aren't successful)

No, I don't think Jefferson, Franklin and Madison would ever intervene in peoples' personal lives as the Republicans would like to.

kamikazi89 · 11-08-2011, 09:34 PM

they woulda left it up to the states

Mercury · 11-09-2011, 08:15 AM

I think we can all agree that abortion is wrong.

Roach · 11-09-2011, 09:21 AM

no we cannot.

Dhomnley · 11-09-2011, 09:41 AM

Mitt Romney is a flip flopping whore. He was talking to Huckabee. In a few weeks he will reverse this when he's being interviewed on the view or cnn.

We've never had a whore for President, not sure how it would go. John Kerry was the closest call.
