1. Ryan’s position opposing abortion even in cases of rape, and his
attempts to define cytoblasts as legal ‘persons’ (which would outlaw all
termination of pregnancies and some forms of birth control) came under
scrutiny when Republican Todd Akin, running for the Senate in Missouri, provoked a furor. Akin
said he opposed abortion even in cases of rape because in ‘legitimate
rape’ the woman’s body rejects fertilization. Akin’s insensitivity to a
situation that affects a third of a million American women every decade,
plus his ignorance of Biology 101, drew widespread condemnation. Mitt
Romney put out a statement that both he and Ryan believed abortion was
permitted in case of rape. Problem: Ryan has repeatedly opposed that position and appears to agree with Akin more than with his running mate.
2. Ryan keeps attacking Prsident Obama’s stimulus program now .
But in 2002 when then President George W. Bush proposed stimulus
spending, Ryan supported it. “What we’re trying to accomplish today with
the passage of this third stimulus package is to create jobs and help
the unemployed,” Ryan told MSNBC in 2002.READ MORE
3. Even more embarrassing,
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
