The pro-life Susan B. Anthony List has released a powerful ad highlighting President Obama’s opposition to a bill in the Illinois legislature that would have protected infants born alive after botched abortions.
The spot is an effective counter-thrust to the ample mileage that Democrats have gained from the “legitimate rape” fiasco. It also demonstrates how powerful perception is in politics. Undoutedly, more Americans today know about Todd Akins’ gaffe than about Obama’s extreme record on the sanctity of unborn human life. A sign of the times, and of our sound-bite driven political cycle.

A gaffe is posting something 3 times in a row on a blog. Saying that a doctor told you that the female body has a way of shutting that whole thing down to avoid pregnancy after a rape is offensively ignorant.

And fairly typical of the intellectual featherweights that pass for "conservative" these days. Obama derangement syndrome seems to have turned them into Romneybots.

A senatorial candidate being mistaken about a medical theory when he is not a medical doctor hardly qualifies as "offensively ignorant." The point Akin was making is that the number of women seeking abortions who say they were raped is very small. Save the "offensively ignorant" hyperbole for, say, a president who thinks they speak Austrian in Austria.

No, his point was that women who are raped don't get pregnant. Which is false. Which is offensively ignorant. It's not a medical theory. It's a medical fact.

NO ONE was offended, DRed, least of all you.
Your side doesn't know how to be offended. Or else, you guys would have been outraged by Teddy "The Swimmer" Kennedy, Bubba "The Rapist" Clinton, Spitzer, Weiner, Bwawney Fwank, Alan Grayson, etc., etc.
Why is your side turning into Grayson, by the way? Why is your side lying about the lady from Puerto Rico being booed, yesterday?

Powerful ad! Tells us something important about Obama. I hope all the morons see it.

This needs to be shown plenty. I'm not familiar with the Susan B. Anthony List group, but I intend to send them some money. Maybe some of the "social liberals" will see what social liberalism has wrought, and open the eyes of some of those "undecideds" who reportedly run from any expression of social conservatism. Maybe they can be made to see the ultimate destination of the direction they are running.
