abortion and rape on Townhall

• What's Good for the Noose is Good for the Pander Wed Nov 14
  Mike Adams
  Recently, Ann Coulter wrote a controversial column suggesting that numerous Republican losses in the 2012 election cycle could be tied to the GOP stance on abortion. After lamenting the problem, she suggested a solution: the GOP should officially abandon its opposition to the so-called rape exception to a ban on abortion. ... more
• Rape, God, Life and Liberals Fri Oct 26
  Mona Charen
  Let's stipulate that people, and particularly politicians, can get into trouble by attempting to speak for God. But that's not the moral of the story regarding Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock. ... more
• Romney's Number-Crunching Values Pessimism Thu Oct 18
  Maggie Gallagher
  Right after the second debate, Mitt Romney has finally decided to run an abortion ad: "Those ads saying Mitt Romney would ban all abortions and contraception seemed a bit extreme, so I looked into it," a female former Obama voter says. "Turns out, Romney doesn't oppose contraception at all. In fact, he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape, incest or to save a mother's life." Mitt Romney. He's our guy. He's much better than Obama, and I think he will win this race. But could he try any harder to prove he's no Ronald Reagan? ... more
• The Right To Choose... Rape? Fri Oct 12
  Mike Adams
  I know it sounds outrageous, but the arguments my liberal readers make for abortion have convinced me that they are trying to legalize rape. ... more
• The Case for Legalizing Rape Tue Oct 2
  Mike Adams
  While it may sound outrageous to suggest legalizing rape, I have been giving the matter serious consideration for quite some time. Aside from the obvious fact that rape is a moral issue (and one can’t legislate morality) there are actually 13 additional reasons for making rape legal. ... more
• Of Mitts and Muslims Mon Sep 17
  Mike Adams
  Dear Mitt: Despite the fact that I really do not trust or respect you, I have decided to give you some free political advice. I do it for two reasons: First, I would rather have a president I do not really trust (you) than one I actually despise (Obama). Second, the advisors and spokesmen you are paying are doing a woefully inadequate job of directing your campaign. Let me give you a couple of examples. ... more
• With “Friends” Like These, Who Needs Democrats? Sat Sep 15
  Steve Deace
  Contrary to what you’ve heard from the liberal media and the Republican Party establishment, which are becoming virtually indistinguishable these days if you ask me, the Todd Akin saga isn’t about his much-maligned mangled comments. ... more
• Problems Solutions and Trade Offs II Mon Sep 10
  Mike Adams
  Most of my columns are meant to expose the hypocrisy of self-described liberals who have taken over our institutions of higher learning. However, on some occasions, I attempt to address misguided thinking among self-described conservatives. An example is my recent column “Romney and the Rapist,” which was described by many readers as either “weird” or “convoluted” or both. ... more
• The Ups and Downs for Women Fri Sep 7
  Suzanne Fields
  A sea change has washed over America since Sigmund Freud asked the question that forever perplexes everybody: "What do women want?" The question remains forever elusive because women are never of one mind. To the consternation of marketers -- political and otherwise -- women don't all think alike. ... more
• Romney and the Rapist Tue Aug 28
  Mike Adams
  I have a friend who suffered through a horrific gang rape nearly twenty years ago. There were three perpetrators but one in particular served as the ringleader and principal conspirator. He was in his early thirties when he planned the crime and convinced a twenty-one year old and a nineteen year old to join him. His victim was only sixteen years old. ... more
• Legitimate Rape Arguments Mon Aug 27
  Mike Adams
  Todd Aiken’s grossly irresponsible remarks about “legitimate rape” and conception have received much media attention. As well they should. The sheer weirdness of the remarks calls into question both his intelligence and his personal integrity. How could someone conclude logically that a rape victim’s body has the capacity to prevent conception in the wake of sexual assault? And why would someone assert that the conclusion had been supported by doctors with whom he had spoken? ... more
• WAKE UP, GOP, AND QUIT OSTRACIZING TODD AKIN Fri Aug 24
  Diana West
  Prediction: If the GOP establishment doesn't follow Republican Rep. Todd Akin's example with a big, fat apology -- to Akin -- the whole party goes down in flames come November. ... more
• Akin and His Critics Fri Aug 24
  Mona Charen
  Todd Akin would do his party and his country a service by stepping aside. The rest of the campaign will be dominated by this side issue, possibly denying Republicans a key Senate seat. To use the words "legitimate" and "rape" in the same phrase betrays a serious lack of judgment. Only about 1 percent of women undergoing abortions report that they were raped, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute. One percent is not zero. ... more
• Abortion and Rape Thu Aug 23
  Judge Andrew Napolitano
  The criticisms of the recent absurd comments by Missouri Republican Congressman Todd Akin, who at this writing is his party's nominee to take on incumbent Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in November in a contest he had been expected to win, have focused on his clearly erroneous understanding of the human female anatomy. ... more
• Trapping Season Thu Aug 23
  Cal Thomas
  It's trapping season. The targets are Republicans, whom the Democratic-friendly media (the trappers) hunt in order to smear -- especially the Romney-Ryan ticket -- forcing them off message. ... more
• Missouri: The 'Show Me Another G.O.P. Candidate' State Wed Aug 22
  Ann Coulter
  Relying on Todd Akin's sense of decency has not worked. Within hours of his idiotic comments about "legitimate rape," Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS pulled out millions of dollars in funding for the Missouri Senate race. Akin didn't get the hint. ... more
