RNC For Life is a PAC that focuses on one specific issue: abortion. They understand very well that peoples' positions on abortion are not black & white. They run the full range from "anyone, anytime" to "nobody, never". Most people fall somewhere in between. You'd think it would be uncommon and extreme to deny a woman an abortion if she had been raped or the pregnancy resulted from incest. According to the PAC's score-sheet of those currently in or running for office, however, there at least 78 GOP candidates who feel just that way. To them, it is more important that the rapist gets to be a father than the victim gets to purge themselves of their attacker's seed. Dr. Drew Weston refers to this type of legal approach as a rapist's Bill of Rights.

How could anyone be so callous and unsympathetic to an assault victim? Is this good politics? Perhaps they don't think this will reverberate with the voters, and it's an easy "win" position for their absolutist base. That would be a foolish approach to take. According to statistics, 1 out of every 3 women will be sexually assaulted within her lifetime (1 in 4 college women). That's a BIG chunk of voters. Over 60% of rape victims are under the age of 18 (ie: which means they are going to the poll with this horror fresh in their minds). Besides being astoundingly cold-hearted, this "no abortions ever" approach seems like political suicide.

That is - unless the voters don't know where the candidate stands.

The RNC For Life thinks they are doing abortion opponents a service by putting politician's feet to the fire. But - they are doing us who support not limiting choices and options a favor as well. We can see which politicians are on OUR side, and we can see which are willing to go on the record as apparently favoring rapists.

Sexual predators come in many guises, including trusted school teachers, and the children that are the victims have suffered enough. It's inhuman (and inhumane) to force them to carry their rapist's child.

Think about when you were young. Think about your daughter or your niece. Think about your wife or girlfriend....

Then look at the list and take action. Let people know where their candidate stands. You have less than 5 weeks.
