She simply said that Akin said what "far too many believe."<br /><br />Well ... what Akin said was scientifically false. If two people believe it, that's far too many, because no one -- zero people -- should believe that load of nonsense.<br /><br />But as per usual, no matter what the right says or does, the odds are 100 percent that they will cry about how they're the victims and the mean ol' media is out to get them.

I wish she would give her opinion in more measured tone. Ask Peter St. Onge for help; he's very good at it. <br /><br />"Akin...saying out loud what far too many believe..."<br /><br />This statement smacks of stereotyping; it implies that most people who are registered Republicans or ideologically conservative hold this opinion. I disagree. This is part of the extreme religious right, not a representation of the party or ideology as a whole. I think this line of thinking is held by people who do not personally know anyone who has ever been raped. I know several who have; rape is rape, period.<br /><br />For the record, I believe a human is a human from the moment of conception, that abortion is murder, and the "constitutional right to privacy" that Roe vs. Wade was based on is a complete fallacy. However, I also believe that legislating morality is a bad idea. We tried it once, with prohibition, and not only did it not stop people from drinking, it gave birth to the Mafia. So I do not support the anti-abortion bills of the extreme religious right. We have to get the economy growing and the runaway government spending under control and leave these morality debates for another time.

What do we call this, the "war on young boys", perhaps:<br /><br />Democratic leaders in Minnesota are demanding a state lawmaker withdraw from his re-election bid after police claim he admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old boy at a rest stop.<br /> <br />While Rep. Kerry Gauthier, 56, will lose support from fellow Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party members if he continues with his campaign, party leaders stopped short Monday of asking him to immediately resign.<br /> <br />The first-term legislator wasn’t charged in the alleged July 22 encounter because the legal age of consent in Minnesota is 16 and no money was exchanged, according to the St. Louis County attorney’s office. Police say the two had oral sex behind a rest stop pavilion in Duluth after the teen responded to Gauthier’s Craigslist ad looking for a “no strings attached” sex.Skippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688165669248150791noreply@blogger.com
