Heh. Here’s some nice GOP hypocrisy:

This is the updated 2004 “ban all abortion” plank of the GOP:

We must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make it clear that the 14th Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions.

So, still an absolute statement that every embryo gets 14th amendment rights. I still do not see why there could be, if this amendment passed, an exception for rape or incest.

We oppose abortion, but our pro-life agenda does not include punitive action against women who have an abortion. We salute those who provide alternatives to abortion and offer adoption services, and we commend Congressional Republicans for expanding assistance to adopting families and for removing racial barriers to adoption.

Except the gay ones, of course. What lying assholes.
