Somehow Paul Ryan managed to write a 1500 word essay about abortion and never once used the word "woman." like she's not part of the equation...or not a real human being. Actually, that's it. Not a human, just a vessel for the Sacred Unborn. Tupperware for zygotes.
Forcing a woman to risk her life and health to give her rapist/molester the gift of his very own child is cruel and unusual punishment. To someone who has already endured the most heinous of crimes. Got that, Todd Akin? Paul Ryan? Mitt Romney?
We're going to remind you repeatedly every day until Nov. 6 and beyond.
