Looked like this. >> i was just a normal mississippi girl going to college. and then i was abducted and raped. it changed everything. initiative 26 doesnt make any exceptions for rape or incest. it goes too far. it would be so bad for women and families. i dont trust the government. i trust mississippi families and women to make these important decisions. its perfectly acceptable to be pro life and against initiative 26. >> that message worked in mississippi. personhood lost in mississippi by do...

Talking about this crazy theory. theres a reason the antiabortion right had to invent this easily disprovable lie about basic human biology in the first place. every time it surfaces in the mainstream, it gets debunked, but even after debunking, it keeps circulating on the antiabortion right. why do they keep bringing it back? if you believe that rape victims dont get pregnant, you dont have to feel bad about using the law against impregnated rape victims. after all, they dont exist. todd akin s...

Was one that said this violation courtesy of the gop. this one said, if you can read this, your government is too close. this one is ironic and intrusive. both kinds. just says small government right on the end of the probe. and with specific reference to bob mcdonnells hopes for being vice president, this one said i can see the white house from here. for a while, it seemed like the republican party had dodged a bullet when they decided to not put a guy nicknamed governor ultrasound on the ticke...

Government to do, force those women to bear those pregnancies against their will until term. which one is worse? saying you want to force a woman who has just conceived against her will to also give birth against her will by order of the government? or telling yourself a fake science fairy tale so you can pretend the women dont exist and you would never want the kind of government that would do so so barbaric to a woman for nine months after the barbarism that was done to her in the incident aff...

Time. >> another sign, i think, of rick perry banking hard for the evangelical social conservative vote, his announcement at a campaign event in iowa last night sort of striking announcement, that hes changed his mind on abortion. he said seeing mike huckabees dvd about abortion has caused him to change his stance on the issue. even though rick perry is very, very antiabortion, hes for criminalizing it, he used to believe that the government shouldnt force rape victims or victims of incest to be...

Vote, his announcement at a campaign event in iowa last night sort of striking announcement, that hes changed his mind on abortion. he said seeing mike huckabees dvd about abortion has caused him to change his stance on the issue. even though rick perry is very, very antiabortion, hes for criminalizing it, he used to believe that the government shouldnt force rape victims or victims of incest to bear the child of their rapist or of their incestuous attacker. now, after seeing the movie, mr. perr...

College. and then i was abducted and raped. it changed everything. initiative 26 doesnt make any exceptions for rape or incest. it goes too far. it would be so bad for women and families. i dont trust the government. i trust mississippi families and women to make these important decisions. its perfectly acceptable to be pro life and against initiative 26. >> that message worked in mississippi. personhood lost in mississippi by double digits last fall. in part because it turns out people do not l...

Their will. he said he got one word wrong in one sentence, but hes not changing his policy. he still wants rape victims to be forced by the government to bear the child of the rapist against their will. thats a very common position in republican politics right now. its shared by the republican party officially which adopted it into their official party platform that will be ratified on monday. well talk about that later on. its a position shared by the republicans soon to be vice presidential no...

Mcdonnell, but when he wasnt willing to defend that position anymore, when he wasnt willing to defend making rape victims bear their rapists baby, bob mcdonnell abandoned that position. he did it messily. he abandoned the position, but he didnt want to be held accountable for that position anymore, so he abandoned it. he stopped defending the position. he tried to pretend it had never been his position. the same cannot be said right now for mitt romney and paul ryan who are night now trying to h...

Good to see you here. >> thanks for having me. >> after what you have been through in life and in politics in mississippi, what was your reaction when you saw this firestorm happen about congressman akins comments this week. >> i was completely offended and infuriated. it just -- its hard not to take it personally when a politician says something like this as a rape victim. 20 years ago when i was abducted and raped and shot twice, obviously, if a personhood initiative or amendment or nationwide...
