republican platform, no abortion in cases of rape, incest or life of the mother

http://news.yahoo.com/gop-platform-no-rape-incest-exception-abortion-081120767.html

A draft platform for the Republican Party reaffirms its stance on abortion, and does not make an exception for rape or incest, CNN reports.

The media cannot sugar coat this garbage coming out of the republican party

5. They do love their fetuses.

Until it pops out as not-white or female. Dear Republican males: your concern for my uterus is duly noted, given the side-eye, and disregarded.

7. Dear God these people are completely anti-woman, anti-child, and anti-family

I can sure talk about this to some Repubs at work. We are the only hospital in town that delivers babies early to save the mother (and yes, it happens more often than the anti-abortionists would like you to believe). Under Romney, we would all stand and watch these women AND THEIR BABIES (yes, these mothers call them babies and grieve) die. These Republicans are murderers if they allow this to stand.

8. I'm furious, these legislators presume to put a heirarchy of importance on life?

a fetus is more valuable than the mother? Really?

these legislators discuss and choose to legislate and allow the death (murder) a mother in deference of a fetus that may also not survive? How is that noble and good? What about the choice of the family the mother etc? Less government? my ass!
