Paul Ryan did not just say this!!!

77. I think you miss the point

I agree he wasn't promoting the idea of rape in order to make more fetuses he could then fight for. That is not the issue.

The issue is that rape is a horrible, violent crime that scars its victims for life. He has shown absolutely no human compassion for that. And his statement "just another form of conception" essentially dismisses the horrendous nature of this crime, just as if he would have said, "Oh well, shit happens, but I'm a pro-lifer."

That is the issue.

I will never understand the twisted mind of a person who could put a rape victim through at least another 9 months of hell -- and maybe an entire lifetime if the victim feels strongly that she must raise the child -- for the sake of a zygote that is at minimum 8 months away from being what any reasonable observer could call a "person" or an "independent life".

Terminating a zygote -- a few cells smaller that the head of a pin -- versus putting a victim of a horrible crime through 9 months of emotional hell? What kind of a sick mind sees any equity there?
