Children of rape need to realize that because a particular intervention means that they would never have been born does not mean that that intervention is evil. What if the rape through which they were conceived had been prevented. Would they think that that was wrong?

Oh, so this is just one example of why itās called the GOP Klown Kar, eh?.
As my late Italian grandpa would say: āgruppo di pagliacciā.
I can hear him saying it about GOPers in particular.

Wasnāt Rubio Batistaās VP back before the Cuban Revolution?
Letās not kid ourselves. Any of these folks running would be at the doctors or OBGYN door if their spouse or child had a problem pregnancy, life was at risk or was raped. Hard cases make bad law.

Men absolutely need to control womenās bodies with more government regulations. Women should not be allowed to make decisions about their own bodies.

so telling that the only issue republicans want to talk about concerning women, is how to control them. right down to saying we would rather have you die than give you control of your own body.
no words about income inequality, domestic violence, glass ceilings, justice. nothing

Itās going to be a while before RubeE-Oā can be assessed objectively. Tweety Matthews and Chuck Toadā were so ecstatic, so overwhelmed with excitement and fapping over āyouthfulāā¦ānew generationalāā¦ācalmingāā¦āsoundāā¦āpresidentialāā¦blah,blah, blahā¦Marco, and making him the āmost dangerousā candidate for the Democrats to face, WHAT he said seemed irrelevant.
Poor marco . . . . he had well rehearsed answers in last nightās debate, even if they didnāt directly address the questions. When he had to answer a real question like this one, he stepped in it. Of course there were no follow-up questions so he thought he was able to weasel out of it without consequence. But today the fact checkers are shredding him.
While rubio may be the most youthful and articulate republican running, heās clearly not ready for prime-time.
From what I saw last night, heās not that articulate. It was so clear that he can give a memorized answer or a snarky one liner. Iām sure he was loads of fun at his fraternity in college but heās not by any sense of the word dangerous and not even in the same zip code as intelligent. And as his waist band continues to expand and his hairline continues to recede, he will no longer be the pretty, pretty boy that everyone loves to swoon over.

Well said. May I add also that this guyās ālatinā cred. is only present in the minds of people with an extremely limited knowledge of the Latin-American experienceā¦Central American, Caribbean, Mexican, South American āSpanish Mainā countries, Southern part of South America, etc.
Rubio has always been aware of this fact, which makes him, as a āLatinoā, far more popular with Barney Fife than āfulanoā (Latino)

While I certainly hope we donāt get a Republican President in 2016, remember that 40% of American women consistently vote Republican. They know what theyāre getting, and if and when their own rights to determine how and when they have children are curtailed, even at times of great stress such as rape, I remind myself that Republicans can never be elected without womenās support. If women really wanted freedom over their own reproductive rights we could be rid of every GOPer the next election, but they donāt so really I stopped caring. If they wake up one day? Great, if not then they must suffer the consequences of limited rights.
āI have advocated that we pass a law that says all human life at every stage of development is worthy of protection.āā¦
Except after birth, of course. Letās never forget that babies are on their own in this country according to conservatives. They can feed, clothe and school themselves. Nobody in the GOP is ever going to protect them from the poverty in which they were born. As a very astute Catholic nun commented last week, the GOP is Pro Birth not Pro Life.
Rubio is a weak sister and canāt even convince anyone that heās Hispanic. The Koch Brothers are obviously keeping him around as a possible VP draft while hoping Walker can gain some traction for the top of the ticket slot. With Trump taking up all the air in the room, itās hard to see how either of these two rise above the rest.
Unless one of them is willing to shout, āLet them all die,ā they are just Establishment types with no appeal at the TeaParty primary box office.

Actually, Rubio is in favor of abortion. He wants every other GOP candidate to perform one on their aspirations so he can shoot to the top. Thatās pretty much the only way heāll get there.
