Paul Ryan Won't Explain What "Forcible Rape' is

     He continues to criticize Akin without explaining where the daylight between he and Akin actually resides. After all, they passed the Personhood Amendment together which contained the term "forcible rape.'

     "Ryan opposes abortions in all cases except for when the life of the mother is at stake, which is different from Mitt Romney's position - Romney would also carve out exceptions for rape and incest."

      "I'm proud of my pro-life record," Ryan said. "And I stand by my pro-life record in Congress. It's something I'm proud of. But Mitt Romney is the top of the ticket and Mitt Romney will be president and he will set the policy of the Romney administration."

    "You sponsored legislation that has the language 'forcible rape,'" Delano noted. "What is forcible rape as opposed…"

    "So that forcible rape language meant nothing to you at the time?” Delano asked.

     “Rape is rape and there’s no splitting hairs over rape,” Ryan said.

       In a 2000 House debate he made some very extreme comments about abortion where he called a discussion about exceptions in the life of the mother as a "loophole."

      "Toward the start of his career in Congress, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) made extreme statements about whether abortions should be allowed in cases where the mother's health is at risk. In an April 5, 2000, speech on the House floor, Ryan lit into such exceptions, characterizing them as "a loophole wide enough to drive a Mack truck through it."

       His remarks came during a debate over late-term abortions. Here is the transcript of his remarks:

Mr. Speaker. I just have to take issue with the comments that have been preceding this debate. This is not a political issue. This is a human issue. Let me just say this to all of my colleagues who are about to vote on this issue. On the motion to recommit. The health exception is a loophole wide enough to drive a Mack truck through it. The health exception would render this ban virtually meaningless. Let us just go over what this procedure does. The abortionist forcibly turns the child into the breech, feet first in that position, then the abortionist pulls the living child out of the mother by the leg until only the head is left inside, stabs the child at the base of the skull and sucks out the brain with a vacuum, pulling the now dead child out of the mother.
Mr. Speaker, C. Everett Koop, hundreds of OB-GYNs, have told us that this is not medically necessary. In the words of the former Surgeon General himself, from the evidence that has been presented in standard OB-GYN textbooks as well as the annals of research in OB-GYN, there is no medical necessity for this abortion procedure.

         It's not rape here but the life of the mother that he called a "loophole." Ryan is trying to call this a distraction-the usual tired Romey-Ryan nonresponse. However it's not a distraction, much less a loophole for millions of women and their families who don't want an Administration who has the kinds of views suggester here by Akin-Ryan-Romney.
