How many Republicans agree with Todd Akin on abortion?

Mayor
Overall, 63 percent of Republicans think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases according to a new poll from the Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Drilling down further, a quarter of Republicans take the absolute position that it should always be illegal.

Akin represents the majority position within the Republican Party. Why do you think they were so desperate to silence him? They don't care if Ron Paul spouts off some nut-job conspiracy theory now and then. They can easily brush that aside as an outlier fringe position. Akin was exposing the soft, fat underbelly of right-wing fruitcakery, and they couldn't deny it -- so they attempted to muzzle him instead.

I disagree NS. I think Akin represents the position of a majority of the leadership of the current republicon party, but many of the average republicon don't feel the same way, they are just being loyal to their party.
 
I believe that abortion is wrong. That is a personal belief.
I also believe that abortion should be legal until the baby is viable outside the womb.
That has always been my belief.
 
Do the Dems agree with Bill Clinton that women are just a piece of meat and sexual abuse and rape are OK?
And if the women get pregnant in the process - just kill the baby... no problem... and if the 1st kill attempt doesn't work - kill it again.

See how that works..
 
My stance: Roe v Wade is bad law.
Abortion should be decided by the states. I would support and and all states no matter which way they decided. My personal beliefs would not allow for an abortion of my own child however.

My stance: it's not "the states" business, either.
It's nobody's business but the woman's, period.
 
How unfortunate...

the Teabaggery allowed their plank to be issued just days after Akin made his now famous statement because it only shows what complete hypocrites they are. They want him to step down [and keep his mouth shut] yet they've basically totally agreed with him in theory.

Didn't you just love watching the VP candidate keep saying over and over "rape is rape" when asked about he and Akin redefining rape as 'forcible rape?" You can tell he got a call from Karl Rove saying deny deny deny. LOL

Personally I could never have an abortion but as long as it's legal I'll fight for a woman's right to choose. I also agree with your second statement.
 
On what?

A pro-life stance?

Or that a woman's body can reject a pregnancy if she was really really raped?
 
That is what he said, and so many conservatives disagree with him on that that he's been asked to end his campaign for the Senate.

I see the only way to relate this to Paul Ryan is to lie and make a phony construct that conservatives agree with all of Akin's statements. This at the same time everyone knows that to be untrue.

Pretty fruitless and underhanded endeavor isn't it?
