Todd Akin’s position on raped abortion less dangerous than Romney’s.

 Akin’s positions and comment on raped abortion which are same as Ryan’s are unfortunate, deplorable, ignorant and stupid. However Romney and Republican positions on abortion in general are worse and more dangerous to the society.

 For one thing, Akin’s position like Ryan’s though despicable is definite and interpretable and therefore reject-able while Romney’s is at best incomprehensible, ambiguous but worse and dangerous in my understanding. 

 Here is how Romney and Republican positions on abortion in general is dangerous.  Abortion is ugly, a moral problem devoid of legal solutions. Akins comment on raped abortion though substantively wicked but it offered a draconian and dictatorial solution to abortion which is an intrapersonal moral dilemma. Akin Ryan position on abortion brutally stops all types of abortion as we know them; without any lingering loopholes for obtaining abortion. Romney position on the other hand criminalizes certain type abortion and leaves incest and raped abortion legal. This Romney’s half goodwill of legalizing abortion in all cases except incest and abortion (playing the benevolent emperor to women on issue of abortion that is personal to them) creates two new forms of social vices.

1. Every woman seeking abortion under Emperor Romney’s benevolence law on abortion will claim rape or incest even when such pregnancy was as a result of sex by consent. These approach to obtaining abortion will turn otherwise honest people into pathological liars. The thought of abortion by itself is a very stressful condition and adding the stress of lying, defending and making the lies believable only adds salt to an injury.
2. Lying about consensual sex and calling it rape or incest in order to obtain a legal abortion will become the order of the day and so common that authorities will ignore legitimate report of rape or incest; because by then 100% of abortion will be obtained in the name of rape or incest because victims of rape and or incest are not required by any law to name their attackers. 

No law will ever stop abortion rather women would resort to dangerous means and sources to get abortion which may lead to the death of more women and the unborn any way. Just like the drug law have led to many more deaths than it have saved, just as the alcohol prohibition of the 1800s failed. Yes we all do believe that abortion is ugly and of moral, societal and religious concern.

 However, we cannot legislate on self morality; remember every abortion starts with a positive pregnancy test which starts either with unprotected legitimate sex, rape, or fornication. If we criminalize abortion then we would have inadvertently limited, criminalized unprotected legitimate sex between couples and would have criminalized fornication. One right denied always lead to a million others suffocated.

 Jesus Christ charged his apostles ‘go ye into all the nations of the earth and preach the god news, for the house that receives ye, you shall give the good news, to those that receive you not, as leave dust your shoes at the door step of the household.’ Jesus never charged his apostles to enforce the good news or enforce morality. Had God wanted he would have conditioned us that we would have been unable to commit moral sins. God’s freewill edict would have meant nothing if humans were not allowed to choose between right and wrong. Republicans should quit playing God; they should also quit trying to invalidate God’s freewill edict.

 If we should legislate on all our individual beliefs, group desirables and or undesirables then we will never have a functional society. Christ said to his apostles, it is impossible to love the invisible God when one loves not the humans that one sees. Republicans can pretend all they want on how much they care for the unborn yet their callous indifference to the plight of the living exposes the height of their hypocrisy.

 Please forgive me for this long sermon, it was out of necessity.
