Paul Ryan, Republicans, and Abortion
P. Schultz
August 22, 2012
“[Paul Ryan and the Republican Party] put the rights of
rapists above the rights of their victims, guaranteeing every rapist the right
to choose the mother of his child. What’s [being] proposed is a rapists’ bill
of rights.” The Political Brain, by Drew Westin.
The above
is a quote from Drew Westin’s book, The
Political Brain, which I have written about previously, although as
indicated the quote has been altered a bit. And this is a statement that Westin
argues, persuasively, that should be used against those who think that rapists
have the right to have their children born by their victims. And this is the
way the argument should be put: That if abortion is not available to women who
have been raped, then the rapist is being given the right to impregnate women
and force them to have their, the rapists’, children. And these are the same
guys who pretend to be “tough on crime?” Not so much.
