Earlier this year in alabama, the guy that was suing who asked the judge in his case to postpone proceedings until he could get some further legal assistance from -- yes, the birther celebrity lawyer dentist, orly tatiz. shockingly, the judge refused to wait for miss taitz and threw the case out. miss taitz is embroiled herself right now in another effort to get president obama off the ballot in indiana. that effort is apparently not going all that well, but im sure she will keep trying. so the ...

Mexico to buy a drug they hope will end their unwanted pregnancies. the pharmacies they visit are largely unregulated. youre talking to the guy who works at the counter. without a doctors supervision and without qualified medical advice, women are not getting proper instructions on how to use the drug theyre buying there, a drug that requires a prescription in the united states. and that is not prescribed here on its own for abortions. one texas clinic director telling the texas tribune that her...

Cant get pregnant if youre raped, theyre reporting he says he personally met with mitt romney as recently as this past october, not the last time mitt romney ran for president but this time, from the telegraph, quote, dr. willke said he did meet mr. romney in a presidential campaign stop in the doctors home town of cincinnati, ohio, in october of last year. local news reports at the time noted the that the candidate held private meetings in the visit. he told me, thank you for your support. we a...

Citing somebody by name and explaining where he came up with this cockamamy theory that your body when raped can distinguish that the sperm in question is from a rapist and should be rejected as opposed to other sperm. he cited an anti-abortion doctor named john willke. think progress posted audio from a conservative talk show interview with todd akin in which he repeatedly references this dr. wilkke by name. >> you know, dr. wilke has released a statement and part of his letter, i think he real...

Theres no need to split hairs. obviously, definitely, right? ask him about that. theres no explanation for that that makes sense. also ask him about the whole dr. willke thing. really, you have never heard anyone else espouse this that has no connection to your campaign. and he also said, quoting from the same interview he did today, nobody is proposing trying to deny birth control to anybody. were going to be dealing with that walk later on in the show, but the broader issue here is this. this ...

Either party wanted this to be the center of the fight this year, but republicans put these issues at the center of their policy agenda in the states. and in congress for the last two years, and then they picked a guy to be their vice presidential nominee who is one of the partys true hard liners on these issues. so, i dont think democrats particularly wanted to run on abortion rights and defending access to contraception, i mean, i dont think this administration is afraid of it. they have been ...

Whole akin situation. whether or not he stays in or gets out, the train has left the station that john willke quota tributed to the romney campaign or romney himself will come up, you can be sure, in a super pac ad or maybe a president obama campaign ad. its already going to be in there. the script writers are hard at work. >> finally, the platform. the platform has been adopted. we know platforms are meant to be thrown out but the platform has the complete language which is no exceptions on the...

Todd akin has apologized for, but he has not completely disavowed all of the theories. we know john willke was also an advisor and a principal surrogate according to his own press reliease in 2007-2008. >> yeah. well, the problem is we look at somebody like todd akin, a lot of republicans do, and say its unfortunate he won that primary in the first place. we dont need people who think like that representing the republican party. its very tough for people like me, pro-choice republicans, and its ...

The reason i say at times, because if you actually go down the list of the family research council, concerned women for america, go down the list of those groups, there are going to be some that say yes, we know all about john willke and quite frankly, there will be others who say they are not as familiar or dont necessarily agree. it depends who you ask and depends what the organization is. so i think thats part of it. >> one of the reasons why this is so relevant, of course, is first of all, t...

To say look, akin, you need to get out of the race and i am for an exception for rape and danger to the life of the mother and he will start to look, not that he is, he will start to look a little more moderate on the abortion position which would be wonderful for independent women. the problem is this is really a base election. he needs to turn out the base. so at some point, evangelical christians are going to go hey, wait a minute, all right, enough of the piling on from romney, mcconnell, al...
