Keep Up The Work DUers! The MSM is Starting To Get It!

First a screen cap of Google News:


And the article: http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2012/08/21/gop-platform-takes-tough-stance-against-abortion/F175Qx17gaXyUjVehfmcFL/story.html

Even as the Republican establishment continued to call for Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri to drop out of his Senate race because of his comments on rape and abortion, Republicans approved platform language Tuesday calling for a constitutional amendment outlawing abortion with no explicit exceptions for cases of rape or incest.

The anti-abortion plank, approved by the Republican platform committee Tuesday morning in Tampa, Fla., was similar to the planks that Republicans have included in their recent party platforms, which also called for a constitutional ban on abortions. The full convention is set to vote on the party’s platform Monday.

While Republican officials stressed that the plank does not go into granular details, saying that they are better left to the states, the language of the plank seems to leave little room for exceptions to the abortion ban. It states that ‘‘the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.’’


Keep it up. We need to expose that the GOP/Tea Party SUPPORT THE SAME STANCE ON ABORTION AS STATED BY AKIN!

The MSMedia will never "get it", they are paid by criminal banks and 1%ers to print what they are told. They treat equal rights just like torture, as if it's something that is debatable.

Propagandists don't get it, they simply repeat whatever they are told.

Not every R is a bigot and not every R is pro-life. However, R's that are politicians are for some reason not allowed to be pro-choice (if that's what your meaning was).

Please tell me of the torture supporting, war mongering, propagandizing (R)s who aren't bigots, I've got some real estate in Florida you might be interested in, LOL.
