**Not only that, but the platform also includes banning ALL same-sex marriages across the U.S. and overturning the states laws. This is outrageous.
FACTS: GOP Platform to Outlaw All Abortion: The 2012 Republican platform calls for a constitutional amendment to grant personhood to embryonic cells. Should that happen states would have no power to contract or expand reproductive rights because reproductive rights would, effectively, be banned.
**Today's BALTIMORE SUN- Do you think this teenage girl should carry her rapist's baby?

**PERSONAL NOTE: A former friend of mine, who is a "Christian" told me that she knows of a young girl that carried and gave birth to her Rapist's baby. She told a couple of people that the baby is a "blessing"- but her mind is a mess.
Imagine looking at your child and remembering the night you were violently raped. The mental torture of trying to love a child that was created by some mysterious person who was violent to you, tried to harm you is unfathomable. What Mental Torture that would be for the 9 months and the lifetime afterward!! And Ultra-Conservative, right wing "Christians" think it's okay to force women to endure this torture? Outrageous. That is Not caring for women.
In an interview with ABC’s “This Week” Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, chairman of the Republican convention platform committee cited the party’s anti-abortion under every-circumstance plank means that rape and incest victims MUST give birth to babies from rapists and relatives.
WOMEN READERS: Would YOU carry a rapists or relative's baby?
Wouldn't that screw up your mind??
Fortunately, not all Republicans share that view. Former Florida Governor and Republican Charlie Crist endorsed President Obama in an op-ed where he criticized the party for veering hard to the right on many issues. “Look no further than the inclusion of the Akin amendment in the Republican Party platform, which bans abortion even for rape victims,” wrote Crist.
