After Todd Akin’s recent claim regarding abortion, have you seen an outcry of support for pro-choice supporters or is it just me? What are your thoughts?
I happen to think what he said was uneducated, false, insensitive and potentially damaging to the GOP ticket ( lets hope not) but what I am seeing in response is scary. I am talking about support, from Jews, for stam abortions , not what Akin was referring to which I don’t want to say here so hopefully you all know what I am talking about.
I am curious about everyone’s thoughts on this.
He came across as an idiot since humans don’t have the capacity to “shut down” a pregnancy other than through abortion (or at least a “morning after” pill). There are some animals that do have such a capacity, but Ha-Shem saw fit not to give it to our species.
The Democrats are trying to attach his words to Romney but it will backfire since the rest of the Republicans clearly repudiated him, and they can “pay back” easily by quoting some of the stupid things that Obama’s supporters said. On the other hand, false attribution make the speaker seem like a dumb bully (remember the attempts to attribute things said by Obama’s “pastor” to him).
True choice would be to let the child be born and have him/her decide at 18 whether or not to continue living.
