GOP Is Psyched That Pro-Life Extremist Paul Ryan’s On Romney Ticket

The reason high-profile Republicans are tripping over themselves is this: Paul Ryan is a crazy person. Since 1999, The National Right to Life Committee has scored his voting record 100%. He supports the Sanctity of Human Life Act, which declares that life begins with fertilization, and opposes abortion even in the cases of incest and rape. essay written by Ryan, the Daily Beast points out, he mentions neither the word “mother” or “woman” once. When he ran for Congress in 1998, his pro-life stance was a major platform: he called a woman’s right to choose an amoral exercise of “arbitrary will.” Oh, and he also plans to allow those organizations that aren’t quite church-affiliated to abstain from providing free contraception as part of female employee’s health care, which means if the Romney/Ryan ticket wins, these assholes get a whole lot of wiggle room.
