| Rep Todd Akin (R - MO) |
Asked why he doesn’t support abortion in most cases of rape, he
responded, "From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If
it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that
whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I
think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be
on the rapist."

During last night’s Indiana Senate debate, Republican candidate Richard Mourdock went too far when he said, “…even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

Rep Joe Walsh (R - IL)

Abortion bans don’t need exceptions for the life of the mother because of “modern technology and science,” Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) said Thursday.
“With modern technology and science, you can’t find one instance” of an abortion necessary to save the life of the mother, Walsh said after a debate with Tammy Duckworth, his Democratic opponent.... “… There is no such exception as life of the mother, and as far as health of the mother, same thing.”
Add Paul Ryan's personhood bill to amend the US Constitution: "To provide that human life shall be deemed to begin with fertilization.", Romney's all-over-the-map-but-he's-against-abortion statements, and anti-women shenanigans and misstatements of biology I have left out, and what you have are not isolated incidents but proposed policies that are part and parcel of the Republican Party. If you don't believe me,
look at their platform, pages 13 and 14. Republicans, all of you, you own these men and the anti-women policies. They're yours.
