they kind of tip toed around it like romney did with mike huckabee. my view is that the supreme court should reverse roe v. wade and send back to the states the responsibility for deciding whether they re going to have abortion legal in their state or fought. that to me would be a real challenge to just say reversing roe v. wade makes us pro life when in fact it gives all the states a chance to decide geographically what is moral and what is immoral. i think we have to decide what politically has the greatest potential of being successful. oh, romney s last quote should be really his campaign slogan, don t you think? we have to decide what politically has the greatest potential of being successful. for mitt romney and paul ryan, keeping quiet on their abortion positions has the greatest potential of being successful. in order to get what they want. they will hide their true beliefs from the american people. here is the bottom line. as far as the vice presidential
look, there is no doubt his fellow republicans will warmly embrace this guy if he wins. and he may be taking friendly fire right now, but he s just the kind of staunch conservative right-wing zealots are looking for. they want to guy who is not going to back down. he s willing to stand up to sean hannity two days in a row, stand up to karl rove, stand up to the republicans in his own party who are calling him, saying hey, buddy, drop out of the race, including mitt romney and paul ryan. today, akin was asked if he would reconsider dropping out, if it looked like he might lose to senator claire mccaskill in missouri. i m never going to say everything that can happen. i don t know the future, but i do know this. i knew that the party voters took a look at our hearts, understood who we were, had a chance to meet us in many, many ways, and made a decision. it makes me uncomfortable to think that the party bosses are going to dictate who runs as opposed to the election process. well, th
my view is that the supreme court should reverse roe v. wade and send back to the states the responsibility for deciding whether they re going to have abortion legal in their state or not. that, to me, would be a real challenge, to just say, we re reversing roe v. wade making us pro-life, when, in fact, it gives all the states a chance to decide geographically what s moral and what s immoral. well, i think we have to decide what politically has the greatest potential of being successful. oh! romney s last quote should be really his campaign slogan, don t you think? we have to decide what politically has the greatest potential of being successful. for mitt romney and paul ryan, keeping quiet on their abortion position has the greatest potential of being successful, in order to get what they want, they will hide their true beliefs from the american people. here is the bottom line. as far as the vice presidential candidate is concerned, paul ryan, he s as radical as you want him
vast majority of voters want. in fact, 75% of voter, some recent poll that i heard about, over 75% of voters believe that women should at least be able to access abortion in cases of rape, not parsed out just rape or incest or for a woman s life. and the vast majority of voters want women to be able to protect their health as well. so he s way out of step. and i think he s sort of scrambling to try to claim that somehow he s not out of step. but he is. i mean, it s very clear to me that paul ryan, the vice presidential candidate for the republicans, is the most radical person that s been on the ticket since barry goldwater. and that was before roe v. wade. i think if you give him a chance to be the biggest zealot in the room, he ll take that opportunity. which brings us to the very basic question, what would a conservative congress, a conservative supreme court, and a president that can be pulled by conservatives mean for women? what would it mean? well, first of all, it would
to force that woman to continue that pregnancy. that is way out of step with the vast majority of what voters want. in fact, 75% of voters, of some recent poll they heard about, over 75% of voters believe that women should at least be able to access abortion in cases of rape, not parsed out, just rape, or incest, or for a woman s life. and the vast majority of voters want women to be able to protect their health as well. so he s way out of step, and i think he s sort of scrambling to try to claim that somehow he s not out of step. but he is. i mean, it s very clear to me that paul ryan, the vice presidential candidate for the republicans, is the most radical person that s been on the ticket since barry goldwater, and that was before roe v. wade. i think if you give him a chance to be biggest zealot in the room, he ll take that opportunity. which brings us to the very basic question, what could a conservative congress, a
