Will Paul Ryan try to Etch-A-Sketch his position on rape?
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.
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."
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.

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.”

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