Or they just kill the girl, for being an embarrassment to the family. Problem solved . . . probably to Akin's satisfaction.

He's probably find Sharia law to his liking, if he tried it. <i>I do not like Sharia law. I do not like it, not at all.</i> (Green Eggs and Q'ran)

you may have seen elsewhere that i'm one of those obamacare bots doing my bit for the ACA. she's one of the dems who've been most supportive / helping most / coming to even the smallest events.

AND she's a huge arts supporter.

i have a girl crush.

if you don't mind getting outraged, this 'fresh air' segment was pretty shocking. and i'm pretty aware of wingnut shenanigans:

Well, so long as it's free, and it doesn't make life better for women in <i>their</i> states, there might be a few of the teabagging GOPpers who'll go along.

It's too bad women don't have teeth down there.

If a Muslim girl is raped, and is at risk of producing a baby Muslimette -- is that a gift from Jeebus? Somebody should check that with Todd Akin.

Any bets that if Reid DOES bring this up, Boehner will immediate claim it's "unnecessary" and "business-killing"?

I can't wait to hear what insightful, nuanced analysis our rightwing brethren will offer to explain the position they will take on this/rationale for opposing this. I think it'll probably break down like this: 37%: oppose because religious freedom/birth control (regardless of actual treaty text). 33%: oppose because national soveriegnty is threatened by it/all treaties all the time. 20%: oppose because treaty has no point because laws are already there to protect women. 10%: oppose because international conspiracy to turn girls in boy-hating feminazis. 5%: oppose because why no violence against men act? 5%: all of them, Katie.
