National Organization for Women Says Richard Mourdock is Romney Unmasked
National Organization for Women Says Richard Mourdock is Romney Unmasked
National Organization for Women President Terry ONeill issued a statement Wednesday saying that Republican Indiana Senatorial candidate Richard Mourdock (pregnancies from rape are Gods will) is Romney Unmasked, noting that Romney has not yet withdrawn his endorsement of Mourdock or asked the Republican to stop running his ads.
Terry ONeill writes, Last night Republican candidate Richard Mourdock confirmed what Todd Akin brought to light earlier that the radical fringe currently in control of the GOP holds misogynistic and deeply unpopular views about women, rape and reproductive rights. Anyone who thinks Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is a moderate who stands apart from this fringe should think again.
During a debate for Indianas open U.S. Senate seat, Mourdock asserted that when a woman becomes pregnant from a rape thats something God intended. Romney attempted to distance himself from Mourdocks pronouncement, but he has yet to withdraw his endorsement of the candidate or call for him to stop running a TV ad that features Romney expressing support for Mourdock.
Voters should understand that Mourdock and Romney are soul-mates who think they know whats best for women. They seek to re-victimize rape survivors, control womens reproductive lives by criminalizing abortion and blocking their access to contraception, and deny women autonomy over their bodies and lives. Mourdock is simply Romney unmasked, and their brand of governing is a threat to women in Indiana and throughout the United States.
