Exactly. Jesus himself made statments against Herod, a political figure. He disobeyed the rulers of his day when it went against God's will and Word. Why should churches (no matter if they are liberal or conservative) give up Religious Freedom and be controlled financially by the government to get Freedom of Speech? You get both, not one or the other!

Reading Jeremiah during an election like this can get real scary real quick. God will judge.. but we can have peace in the meantime, by fearing the LORD and praying for this Nation to turn again to Him.

It isn't true. We all pay taxes one way or another.. and I bet more rich people vote Democratic than Republican.

Just because you are poor doesn't mean you're stupid. Many poor people know better than to vote for Obama.

We all know of women like the stripper that claimed the team players raped her.. but was lying. Or others that simply changed their minds. So I guess that is what he meant by it not being "legitimate" rape. Of course, a woman that is stressed is more likey to miscarry. And we have also heard that shall we say "a pleasant experience" leads to more fertility... so it would follow that rape victims are less likely to get pregnant. On the other hand, he did say that "somehow that doesn't work" so right in his comments Akins admitted forcibly raped women do get pregnant. I don't see how that is so offensive.

You are so right.. and if the left had their way they would try to make every abortion seem like it is a hard case.. poverty, rape etc. But we all know the truth.

All you have to do is read a bunch of fertility websites to get that impression. But just like drugs cause birth defects.. but not all birth defects are because of drugs.. but he did apologize. I wish other politicians were so easy to straighten out.

Akins is right. It is the rapist who should be punished not the child.

he was thinking forcible.. I would add "violent".. I think to most people this is different from "I just changed my mind" or I was "too drunk to remember what I said" rape.

He clarified what he meant. .. forcible rape v/s date rape.. or I got too drunk to say "no" rape.. Yes, Obama, there is a difference. Stress does increase the risk of miscarriage: Google "stress and fertility." So 10,000 abortions are the result of rape.. 2 million are choice.. birth control .. So.. why don't you save your outrage for those who really deserve it.

Debra, you need to go back and listen to his statements and apology. He clarified what he meant. Why don't you attack those that defend rapists, and coerced abortions on teen rape victims.
