8. I'm so pleased--I'm so furious!!

I'm pleased that the MSM is covering this. In fact, I am breathing a sigh of relief, because Paul Ryan wants to be vice president of this country.

He co-sponsored a bill with the infamous Todd Akin. This bill specified that Medicaid would only fund abortions for pregnancies that were the result of "forcible rape." This bill, HR3, was introduced with one reason, and one reason only.

The previous bill allowed Medicaid to fund abortions for pregnancies resulting in rape. These Republicans, including Akin and Ryan--wrote, introduced and co-sponsored HR 3 because the word "rape" was changed to "forcible rape."

These misogynistic, sociopathic sickos need to explain. And Paul Ryan damn well better explain.

He put a lot of energy into HR3. So making the distinction between rape and "forcible rape" was incredibly important to him. So important, that HR 3 was crafted.

Paul Ryan! Please tell us all what "forcible rape" is and what the differences are between rape and "forcible rape."

We're waiting.
