Staph pitched quite the fit in this thread. It looks like this has legs.
I doubt very much if the OP is concerned about Obama's association with the hate whitey church
And legally, its un-Constitutional.What it says is that a single cell can achieve all the protections the Constitution of the United States bestows on persons, Slaughter said of the bill. Scientifically the law is crazy.
The contempt most conservatives have for our civil liberties is remarkable, not surprising, but remarkable nonetheless.
Ironically,
Bob McDonnell, the governor of Virginia, and much more politically attractive VP candidate than Ryan, may have disqualified himself in the eyes of the Romney camp because of that infamous vaginal ultrasound episode.
Now they end up with Ryan, who is just as extreme on abortion as McDonnell.
Why are the Republicans throwing Akin overboard with tons of righteous outrage while they simultaneously cheer Ryan on.
The two hold exactly the same positions on abortion.
you people are liars
Please tell us why you want to make it murder to abort an ectopic pregnancy.
Or do you not support the Ryan-Akin bill?
shouldn't you be back over in your thread bitching about the rich.
How sick a society or people when they call it RADICAL when to recognize a fetus/child as a person?
You didn't read it, I see....it says it is a person at FERTILIZATION....that is ONE CELL....a fetus is quite a bit farther down the road.
Paul Ryan and Todd Akin Partnered On Radical ‘Personhood’ Bill
Now we're going to try the guilt by association route. Odd how this didn't bother you until after the news broke about his comments.

An interesting question: How bad is the Ryan-Akin anti-abortion bill?
The national battle over Todd Akins comments about legitimate rape has shed light on a personhood bill, co-sponsored by Akin and Paul Ryan, called the Sanctity of Life Act. Much of the chatter today has focused on whether Ryan opposes abortion in cases of rape. The Romney campaign confirmed today that Ryan does personally oppose it, while clarifying that a Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose it.
But what about the other legal implications of the bill Ryan and Akin co-sponsored? In an interview just now, Dem Rep. Louise Slaughter, one of the leading pro-choice voices in Congress, raised two startling possibilities.
One of the questions around this legislation is, Could a rapist who impregnated a victim sue that victim if she decided not to carry that baby and to have an abortion? Slaughter said. Another question: Could in vitro fertilization be outlawed?
Its unclear how this legislation would work. The bill affirms that from the moment of fertilization onward, every human being shall have all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood. It then says that Congress and the states have the authority to protect all human beings again, defined as human life from fertilization onward residing in their juristictions.
Slaughters suggestion is that this affirms the authority of Congress or the states to pass laws outlawing IVF, since that procedure requires the destruction of embryos, or that it could give legal weight to a rapists insistence that his victim not abort her baby though again, its unclear how this would work.
What it says is that a single cell can achieve all the protections the Constitution of the United States bestows on persons, Slaughter said of the bill. Scientifically the law is crazy.
