How conservative is the Republica stance on abortion? It's to literally to the right of the Hadith.

This was mentioned on another forum and I thought I'd share it here. This was brought up in a discussion about the Republican platform's call to ban abortion. The Republican stance on abortion, is to the right of the Islamic Hadith (a collection of sayings and acts of the Prophet Muhammad.)

This 3-month stage ends the threshold of permissibility for abortion according to Islamic Law. All the Muslim Jurists concur that the fetus becomes a human being after the fourth month of pregnancy (120 days). The majority of the jurists, as a result, prohibit abortion after that stage and permit it until then provided there is a valid reason. Their totality permit it before forty days while ruling it offensive (makruh).

This was taken from here, I've never seen the website before, it looks to be an Islamic site, but from what little I've seen it doesn't look to be a fundamentalist site: http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=7&ID=868&CATE=1

1. Ben Sargeant nails it, as usual, visually and polemically

Akin, Ryan, and the officially approved Republican platform stand with the Taliban to the right of the Sunnis.

2. That's one reason the fundies hate Islam. It's too LIBERAL for them.
