Talking about doesnt make sense to the american people and certainly doesnt make sense to me. so what i think these comments do underscore is why we shouldnt have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women. >> we have the bumper sticker for the fall "rape is rape, vote obama." >> we havent seen the president come out and talk for a while. obviously he chose a purpose to talk on that issue and some others. to go back to what mika is saying ...

Disposable like trash bags. and heres another great example. >> what about principles? >> it is. on your point about ryan and women, while romney stopped short publicly of calling for akin to drop out of the race, plenty of other republicans did fearing the cost of elections beyond missouri. and the super pac, were talked about that. paul ryan is the point i want to get to. he called akin personally, this is what ive been told, asking him to leave the race point blank. i think thats paul ryan tr...

Legislation that would outlaw all abortion, in the case of rape. >> thats not responsive to my question. >> there are a lot of people who doesnt believe in the exception. but dont compare paul ryan to a guy who says ive been talking to doctors -- hold on. ive been hearing this crap for 24 hours. youve never heard paul ryan say i talked to a doctor and a doctor told me when a woman is being raped there, are biological devices that shut down her system so she doesnt get pregnant. if anybody in the...
