Crazy Rape Comparison By Republican Senate Candidate

submitted by Lendl

1 decade 2 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

YouTube Description:

"Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tom Smith inadvertently waded into the war of words over rape and abortion Monday - issues his party has been trying to steer clear of in recent days. Asked about his stance on abortion during a stop in Harrisburg, Smith said he opposed it in all circumstances, including rape and incest. He then seemed to equate the trauma of a pregnancy brought about by rape with a woman's deciding to have a child outside...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks down the comparison of rape to out of wedlock birth.*Read more here from Angela Couloumbis in Philly.com: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120828_Pennsylvania_Senate_candidate_Tom_...

OH dear. Cenk, sweetie, you LITERALLY put words into his mouth and then argued with him.

I can come up with another ending to the aborted (ha!) sentence -- "Fortunately I didn't have to.... shun my relative. Live with the knowledge that an abortion happened in my family. Disinherit my relative. Get the rest of the family to shun that relative. Or... DRIVE HER TO THE ABORTION CLINIC????

Cenk, bad job. Bad job. I know you are a pundit, and the first half of this is better than average for you. Just... bad ending. Intellectually dishonest. And wrong.

I mean really. What if he was willing to drive her to the abortion clinic? Lots of pro-lifers have had abortions, you know.
