“This is an issue that opponents of 'life' throw out there to make us
look unreasonable. There’s no such exception as
life of the mother, and, as far as health of the mother, same thing.
With advances in science and technology, health of the mother has become
a tool for abortions for any time under any reason.” - Representative Joe Walsh, (R) Illinois
In
August, Todd Akin said women have biological defenses ("the female body
has ways of shutting the whole thing down") against pregnancies that
could result from “legitimate rapes.” - Representative Todd Akin (R) Missouri
"I
struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is
that gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible
situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen." - Richard Mourdock (R) Indiana Senate Candidate
"I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape
issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage,
was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it
truly caused by a rape. I assume that's part of the counseling that goes
on.” - Senator Chuck Winder (R) Idaho
“I think the right approach is to accept this
horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a
very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given
to you… rape victims should make the best of a bad situation.” - Rick Santorum (R) 2012 Republican Part Presidential Candidate
