Ryan on abortion exceptions: Rape is just another ‘method of conception’

[kpete]

“I’m very proud of my pro-life record, and I’ve always adopted the idea that, the position that the method of conception doesn’t change the definition of life,” Ryan explained. “But let’s remember, I’m joining the Romney-Ryan ticket. And the president makes policy.”

“And the president, in this case the future President Mitt Romney, has exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother, which is a vast improvement of where we are right now.”

MSNBC’s Steve Benen noted that responses like this were probably the reason that Romney is refusing to take any questions about Akin or abortion.

“In this case, when Ryan says ‘the method of conception’ is irrelevant, he’s talking about rape,” Benen wrote. “In other words, the Republicans’ vice presidential nominee clearly believes the government should force women to take their pregnancy to term if they are impregnated by a rapist.”

1. That's just weird.

2. I think as time goes on, his image is morphing from some sort of

"good guy" thing into something rather strange, especially when he's on video talking in close-up.

In a way he's even more zombie than Rombie.

3. So how does it work?

If conception impossible from legitimate rape (Akin), how can rape be a legitimate method of conception (Ryan)?

Yes, I get it. The overriding theme: republicans just don't care about women.

Sick f-cks.
