re: #497 Dark_Falcon

I’m going to link back to my earlier response to Coulter’s article since it’s just as relevant now as when Big Steve cited to it earlier.

But I’ll add that she’s no where near the truth on “90 percent of the country agrees with us — such as bans on partial birth abortion, and parental and spousal notification laws — Akin and Mourdock decided to leap straight to the other end of the spectrum and argue for abortion positions that less than 1 percent of the nation agrees with.” That’s why they’re still pushing personhood amendments and other bills that get sponsorship from the GOP leadership, including Ryan himself.

Akin and Mourdock aren’t outliers. They’re signals of a larger movement within the GOP to curtail abortion. Their aspirations are to eliminate abortion in the US, and will use it as a weapon against funding for PP, which provides vital health services to women across the country.
