There is a controversy going around about Paul Ryan and his comment that rape is a “method of conception.” He believes that abortion is not necessary in any situation but claims that Mitt Romney has “exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother, which is a vast improvement of where we are right now,” Ryan said in a Huffington Post article.
It is interesting how Ryan had worked together with Todd Akin on a bill that discusses rape when they both may have said controversial remarks about the subject.
The bill is H.R.5939 — No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. The bill claims that the limitations of prohibiting funds, health benefit plans, tax benefits and federal facilities and employees relating to abortion do not apply if there was an act of forcible rape, incest with a minor, or if the woman would suffer from physical injury or death from birth.
So if Ryan is saying that rape is a “method of conception” and Akin thinks that women have “ways to shut that whole thing down,” when it comes to “legitimate rape” pregnancy, how can they say that women can receive health benefit plans and such if they don’t believe that abortion is right or can be prevented?
This seems very peculiar of a Vice Presidential candidate and running Missouri senator when they have conflicting beliefs of abortion.
If you were to vote for Romney, would it make a difference to know what Ryan thinks even though Romney would have the final decision in matters of abortion?
