That may be the best reason yet to vote for him. If they are afraid of losing their patsy in the White House who rolls over every time Russia barks, than I think them not liking Romney is a good thing.So you agree with Romney that Russia is Americas No. 1 geopolitical foe?MistyBlue, on 28 March 2012 - 10:38 AM, said:Idaho state Sen. Chuck Winder [R] suggested that women seeking abortions may lie about rape. Some anti-abortion activists actually believe that rape cannot result in pregnancy.Buzzfeed dug up a series of bizarre statements Republicans have made about pregnancy, rape, juices not flowing and more.See, I have a problem when people lie to support their positions. I live in Idaho and heard this statement. he didn't say women lie about rape, he said that a woman who wants to abort her baby because she was raped, should make sure if she is in a relationship with a man, that the baby isn't his instead of the rapists. Of course, that's translated by the pro-abortion screamers that women may lie about rape.Sure sounds like what he wants is for women seeking an abortion due to rape to be interrogated by their doctors.The sponsor of an Idaho mandatory ultrasound bill, state Sen. Chuck Winder, made some highly controversial comments Monday during his closing arguments, suggesting women might falsely use rape as an excuse to obtain an abortion. Just before the Idaho's Senate passed the bill, which requires woman to have an ultrasound prior to obtaining an abortion, opponents of the bill pointed out that it makes no exception for rape victims, incest victims or women in medical emergencies. Winder, a Republican from Boise, responded to those concerns by raising the question of whether women understand when they have been raped. Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this," Winder said on the Senate floor. "I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that's part of the counseling that goes on.LinkBTW, the procedures used for parentage determination during pregnancy (Chorionic villus sampling [taking a small piece of the placenta], or Amniocentesis [collection of a sample of fluid that bathes the baby] are invasive and pose a risk to the mother and the fetus.Chorionic villi sampling may be done from the 10th through 13th week of pregnancy. Amniocentesis can be done between the 14th through 24th week of pregnancy. You expect women to wait that long to have an abortion if they were raped?
