Every week since the Republicans wond the House in 2010, we have seen bill after bill passed/discussed to limit the right to choose. Even many of my female friends say that issue doesn't matter and to focus on the "issues". This issue DOES matter and it is why I find it repulsive that we may have Akin and Mourdock as 2 of the most influential legislators in the WORLD. The Senate Matters!

Now, I would love to live in a world where:

- No woman ever learns that she has cancer
- No woman is ever raped
- No woman ever lives in fear of her life due to domestic violence

But, sadly, we live in a world where these things happen.

If abortion was limited to cases where life of mother, rape, and such were the only exceptions.....how would that work? Would a woman have to issue legal action against rapist? Would she have to win? By then, the baby could be 2 years old. Would she have to be seen in hospital and have rape kit issued? What is the bar for such a policy? Life of mother seems easier to define, health of mother is another problematic situation from a legal standpoint. I am no lawyer but I have always wondered how this would work if it came to this....

Ok, Missouri and Texas, the ball is in your court to beat this gem from Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA).

And, of course he is on the House Science Committee with none other than Rep. Todd Akin.
