Paul Ryan said Rape is One "Method" To Get Pregnant (Video)

by TeamSarah4Choice

Wednesday, August 20, 2012, Paul Ryan told Josh Smith of Roanoke Virginia's WJHL-TV that "rape" is just one "method" of getting pregnant and therefore, Paul Ryan does not support abortion even if a woman is raped.

JOSH SMITH: Abortion ... our viewers would like to know exactly where you stand ... specifically where you stand when it comes to rape and when it comes to should it be legal for a woman to be able to get an abortion if she's been raped?

PAUL RYAN: “I’ve always adopted the idea, the position, that the method of conception doesn’t change the definition of life.”

There you have it, in one sentence, Paul Ryan says, 'life begins at conception' and rape is just 'one method of getting pregnant.'

Ryan goes on to lie and falsely claims that Romney has an exception for rape and incest. Yet, Romney admitted he supports the Personhood Amendment which haphazardly denies science and ignorantly would legislate that life begins at conception and would outlaw all abortions under any and all circumstance.

Ryan also admitted that he spoke with Rep Akin, but wants to keep the details of his call, secret. Ryan did say that he agrees with Roy Blunt (remember the Blunt Amendment) in that Akin should step down for the "good of the conservative movement."

TRANSLATION: The GOP's conservative movement platform: Lie to voters so you can get elected then shove through anti-women legislation.

That's exactly what Paul Ryan is doing, he knows his position is extreme and the only way to get his extreme position legislated is to lie to the voters about his personal agenda, get elected Vice President of the United States and usher in his extreme 'conservative movement' agenda of denying women their right to medical privacy.

Here's a DNC ad:

1. Yes...

And back in the day, it was used so that the woman is forced to marry someone they didn't want.
It forces dependency also...

That disgusting sonofa...

2. More truth slips from the serious Rethugs

He and Akin are peas in a pod. Can't help themselves.

3. Codifying the "Nuts Or Sluts" Defense...

Yep...Ryan believes that conception is all a woman's "fault"...that if she didn't spread her legs in the first place she wouldn't be in that situation. Dare her to say she was coerced or forced? Now we have the redefining of rape to suit the macho of the anti-choicers who seem to know more about a woman's body than a woman. It shifts the onus to the victim...she surely was asking for it.

I'm hopeful women see this as an attack on their basic integrity and body...and Eddie Munster doesn't get a pass on his draconian and outright cruel position.

5. You can't rape property.

Women are chattel to these people. It isn't rape if you OWN the person. Women don't have the ability to say no. It's not their choice if you have sex with them or not. If they are showing any skin at all, they are consenting subconsciously. And Marital rape doesn't exist in the mind of these people.

6. What a creepy, hateful thing to say

This cretin is utterly unfit to be a Congressman, much less Vice President. Sure, force me to carry a child because I may have become pregnant by "another method"? You, Mr. Ryan, can kiss my Native American ass.

7. His responses are a slap in the face to women

I find him to be boorish, cavalier, and astonishingly arrogant in his ignorance. Extremism isn't very pretty.
