2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFacebook supporter of Akin
I was raped, conceived, & had an abortion only to have the abortion cause me more trauma than the rape itself. I supported you Mr. Akin, everyone makes mistakes, you rose above it the best you could when your own party abandoned you, but I'm proud of you for continuing your fight! Many blessings to you & your family!Will not mention her name. But first, in the spirit of the Akin logic, she conceived, therefore it was no legitmate rape. She aborted, which is against Tea Party policy. So she supported akin based on her mistakes? Must all women get raped, conceived, abort and therefore turn TP?

(452 posts)1. These people believe that God will forgive anything
They believe in a heaven and hell, but they also believe that bin Laden or other similar figures would have been eligible for entrance to heaven if he "truly repented" before being killed.
In their world, gay people who live good lives but who do not "repent" are destined for hell, while convicted murderers that find Jesus in prison are headed to heaven.
