WHATEVER THE PRESIDENT SAYS MAKES IT LAW . . .
Where have we heard that one before?
Look, I'm proud of my record. I don't— I'm proud of my
record. Mitt Romney is going to be president. The president sets policy. His
policy is exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother. I'm comfortable with
it because it's a good step in the right direction.
Two things:
When it comes to abortion, only an idiot takes Mitt Romney
at his word. He's taken every single position known to humanity. Until Monday,
he supported a total ban on abortion. Then Todd Akin happened and Romney
decided he needed to support some exceptions. But the
very next day, the official Republican platform endorsed a total ban—no
exceptions allowed—and Romney didn't offer a single objection. So even though
Romney now says he supports exceptions for rape and incest, he's done nothing
to show he really means it. Instead, he continues to let his party's base run
roughshod over him.
No matter what Romney says or believes, Paul Ryan still
opposes abortion in all circumstances. Like Todd Akin, he still wants to redefine
rape. Sure, he'd be happy with any policy that further restricts abortion
rights, but anything short of a total ban is merely a step in the right
direction. To Ryan—and much of the GOP base—the issue won't be settled until
there is a complete ban. Ryan's statement admits as much.
It's a fantasy to assume Ryan would accept a half-measure
from Romney without pushing for more, and it's an even bigger fantasy to assume
Romney would be able to withstand pressure from his party's base on the issue.
