Let's be very clear that the Republican Party Platform endorses no abortion for any woman for any reason. And that this was not just the ignorant opinion of an isolated individual. This is part of the campaign of misinformation that the far Right Wing has been waging since at least the time of Reagan.
A Missouri Republican who came to the defense of Representative Todd Akin told the The New York Times last week that, while "abortion is never an option.... If God has chosen to bless this person [the rape victim] with a life, you don’t kill it."
