Gingrich: I’ll Force Women to Bear Rapists’ Babies

[one_voice]

If anyone ever asks again why I left … no, ran away from the right, here’s one of the main reasons: the utter heartlessness of a party so morally bankrupt that it would force women to bear the babies of rapists and incestuous family members. Gingrich: I ‘Wouldn’t Make Exceptions’ For Abortions In Cases Of Rape Or Incest. http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/01/03/396976/gingrich-i-wouldnt-make-exceptions-for-abortions-in-cases-of-rape-or-incest/

With Gingrich now changing his previously stated views, the majority of the Republican candidates for President are onboard with this monstrous position — a position not arrived at through reason or rationality, but through religious fanaticism. Bad craziness indeed.

1. It is called pandering

[seabeyond]

2. anyone who advocates abortion is murder should have that position. let chips fall where they may

and while talking to an anti abortionist, bring there daughter in, and discuss a gruesome rape, she gets preg, .... now what.

anyone is a hypocrite if they say abortion is murder. allow with incest, rape, womans health. at that point it is all about penalizing for promiscuous behavior. they are saying some murder is allowed, other murder is not.

3. My friend was 11 when she was raped

and it took her years to get over it and let any man, including her Dad, touch her again. I know her family, Catholic at that, would have done anything they could to have to NOT have her carry a rapist baby, especially as a baby herself. Any parent who would do this to their child is no better than the rapist himself. I knew Karen well enough to know that she would have killed herself, and any rapist baby, if she was forced to bear it.

4. ..and I'll put those babies to work as janitors.

5. Hey Newt! Why stop there?

Why not mandate joint custody of the children between the mother and her rapist including family counseling?

6. Monster!

[Ilsa]

7. Most men and many women don't get it...

Women who are thoughtful about mating look for someone to share their genes with. Rapists with their mental and emotional problems are never on the list of men we want to make a baby with, much less spend a life being tied to because of a baby.

Does a convicted rapist get to claim parental contact if he is able to finish prison and provide child support?

9. He's not the only one

Perry and Santorum are in that camp as well.

It is actually the only consistent position a Right-To-Lifer can take.

If you believe that abortion is murdering a baby - then how can you make any kind of exceptions?
