Just when I thought the GOP had learned their lesson!!

Joe Walsh once again shows the GOP contempt and lack of respect for women!!!

http://news.yahoo.com/joe-walsh-backs-off-abortion-224441139--abc-news-politics.html

During a debate with Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth on Thursday, Walsh had declared that he was "pro-life without exception," and said that due to medical advancements, there were no instances in which abortion was necessary to save the life of the mother.

Are they REALLY that stupid?? Or are they being deliberately obtuse?

I often wonder if they are like my blonde sister in-law who acts stupid in order to get what she wants or get the males in our family to do things for her!!!

So I guess I wonder if they are doing it to further push their agenda of complete govermental and moral control!!
