Will Ron Paul himself be waiting vigilantly in every American ER, syringe of estrogen at the ready, ready to provide anti-pregnancy treatment for rape victims who are behaving properly? He doesn't say.
Instead, he continues, noting that while the victim of an "honest rape" can take the morning after pill this one time, a different set of standards should apply to a woman who was raped and just moseys on into the doctor's office 7 months later to have one of those spontaneous late term "just-for-funsies" abortions women are so fond of having nowadays.
What I've pasted from the link, and emboldened myself, may be the slant of the writer.
This is the patronizing attitude the GOP has of women, that they are nothing but children to be instructed by the wise old men. What is there about these alleged free thinkers that they DARE judge another person's wants, needs or thoughts?
These men are in effect, calling all women who don't agree with them liars, impugning the intelligence, morals and integrity of women who say they do not want to or cannot carry a child to term.
The abortion procedure is a painful one, and not just an easy, fun thing to do. The choices women are making are informed because they know what is going on in their lives and will live with the consequences.
They don't need to be informed by a bunch of busy bodies and good old boys who will NOT be living with the consequences of bearing a child.
It is insane that we are even having to have this discussion in this day and age. Or maybe we've been taken back in time to women could be legally beaten with a board so long as it wasn't too thick. And they couldn't vote. The GOP wants all of this for women.
