Gingrich Defends Mourdock’s Rape Remarks: ‘Get Over It,’ Obama Is The Real Radical On Abortion
Source: TPM
On the Sunday talk show circuit, Newt Gingrich defended Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock of Indiana for his remarks about abortion and rape, referring to the controversy as nonsense and calling on President Obamas campaign to get over it.
If you listen to what Mourdock actually said, he said what virtually every Catholic and every fundamentalist in the country believes, life begins at conception, Gingrich said on ABCs This Week. Now, this seems to be fixated by the Democrats, but the radical on abortion is Obama, who as a state senator voted three times in favor of allowing doctors to kill babies in the eighth and ninth month who were born, having survived late-term abortion.
He was among several Romney surrogates to downplay the importance of Mourdocks remarks to the presidential race on Sunday.
At a debate last Tuesday, Mourdock said, I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen. The day after, he stood by his opposition to abortion in the case of rape and incest, but clarified that he was merely trying to convey his belief that life is a gift from God.
If there was any interpretation other than what I intended, I really regret that, he said.
Mitt Romney said he disagrees with Mourdocks comments. The Obama campaign has worked to tar Romney with the remarks, demanding that he drop his support for the Senate candidate. Gingrich called on the presidents re-election team to let it go.
[Mourdock] also immediately issued a clarification saying he was referring to the act of conception, and he condemned rape, the former House speaker said. Romney has condemned I mean, one part of this is nonsense. Every candidate I know, every decent American I know condemns rape. OK, so why cant people like [Obama deputy campaign manager] Stephanie Cutter get over it? We all condemn rape. Now lets talk about whether we also condemn killing babies in the eighth and ninth month.

He is morally bankrupt and basically a piece of shit excuse for a human being. I hope I live long enough to see the last of these old, decrepit, scumsucking patriarchal fuckers buried, and the top of their graves salted. Better yet, seal Gingrich and Limbaugh in a lead box and shoot them into space.

(5,763 posts)At the beginning of this election campaign, if a Democrat had said the GOP's stand on abortion was this barbaric and callous, and held so much contempt for women, would the public have believed them? No. Finally there's no doubt. GOP has been hiding this, up until when the Tea Partiers came in, now they're letting out.
And it's nauseating, but I hope the rest of the voters think so.
