ANTI ABORTION GROUP CALLS FOR AKIN TO RESIGN...


Earlier this evening, the Christian Defense Coalition became the first anti-abortion group to call on Todd Akin to withdraw from the Senate race in Missouri. In a statement distributed by the right-wing Christian Newswire, the head of the Christian Defense Coalition, Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, described Akin’s comments on “legitimate rape” as “offensive, repugnant and troubling.”

Mahoney said that while he respects “the record of Congressman Akin, especially in the pro-life community,” his comments were “so offensive and indefensible” that he must “assume the full consequences and responsibility for making them.” He can do so, Mahoney said, by “removing himself from the Missouri Senate race.” Mahoney also expressed his concern that if Akin doesn’t withdraw, “these comments will follow the Congressman throughout the entire campaign.”

Mahoney is not would you would call a liberal. He was a longtime associate of Randall Terry, the extremist anti-abortion activist and former leader of Operation Rescue. In February, Mahoney was arrested in front of the White House while protesting President Obama’s health care bill. In March he participated in an effort to “encircle” the Supreme Court and pray for Obamacare to be struck down. And next month in Charlotte, he plans to lead protests against Obama and offer “live ultrasounds” throughout the city.

9. I know! They totally agree with what Akin said. Now they are acting as if they are outraged

These people have no shame. They are the most disgusting bunch of assholes, ever! And I truly believe that they are pure evil!! The way they deliberately lie and repeat those lies...the bigotry and hatred...the racism and sexism. Hate rhetoric and inciting violence...all of it. They are pure EVIL incarnate!!

3. seems Mahoney knows that this issue is shining a light on the disgusting offensive onslaught of

women's rights. People are paying attention and seeing the records of these republicans and what they are voting for.. This spotlight is not good for the anti-abortion crowd.

and it's to STAY ON!

Get your word from God, or more specifically, Terry Randall.
