hypercrites

Well, we're back on the same tired old abortion path with this thread.  I'm no expert on Paul Ryan's success rate at getting anti abortion laws passed so lets turn to that wildly conservative magazine Mother Jones.

Hmm.  Despite some attempts to protect the lives of unborn children it looks like he hasn't actually been very effective.

Also, did you notice the headline of that article?  Ryan has co-sponsored the "most extreme" bills.  And yet if you actually read the article none of the proposed laws are really all that extreme; especially when you compare them to the actual act of aborting the life of a baby.

As usual, the left is agitated over nothing.

On this, ted, I disagree with you.

Neither Paul Ryan nor anyone else has been "effective" with legislation to criminalize abortion for a very specific reason, and that is the existence of Roe v Wade.  That provides cover.  It's the reason I can happily vote for Paul Ryan despite my opinion of his abortion position.  The problem is that, if it ever appears that Roe is in danger, I am absolutely convinced that the American electorate will turn on the GOP and vote it out in order to protect legal abortion.
