Well they already think a baby born of rape is beautiful or God's gift...

With respect, am I missing something here? Why would a baby that actually ends up being BORN out of rape not be a beautiful infant?

Cathy you might want to rephrase that.

I think they already did....

I didn't think you had to come out against Rape. I am pretty sure 99.9999999999999999% of people know Rape is not OK.

Republicans have already supported the notion that a woman who is raped can "shut down" the mechanism that gets pregnant. Another Republican wanted to define "Legitimate Rape." The GOP WOW (War On Women) is bizarre and embraced by their women.

Obama cures cancer, GOP accuses him of destroying oncology jobs.

Maybe you should look at the latest info released by the White House on how he cut funding for research and even immunization.

So that's the GOP strategy for the healthcare system?
Send Rand Paul to Children"s Hospitals , and tell them "just say no to cancer"... your gift for analogies, is only slightly better than your talent for revealing petty contempt for the POTUS.

The GOP (Get Obama Party) are already in favor for it. The President should come out for breathing or not to drink the bottles under the kitchen sink and the GOP will be against it.

He could call it "surprise sex."

Well, not so much for rape as for the freedom to rape. He, of course, would never make the choice to be raped, but who is he to tell women they can't get themselves raped if they want to?

Most eloquent .. he grew up with a strong, independent, accomplished mother, grandmother and wife. Only secure men can celebrate women ... His daughters are so, so lucky. My father was a teacher and home all the time and never bothered with me ...

Alison Wilkie Carnie , I guess following blindly a man to another country because he is the father of your child makes a woman strong. That is called weak and subservient.

Alison Wilkie Carnie : He grew up with a strong independent accomplished mother. Translation: No daddy. If Obama says cancer is no good, do you swoon with glee at his wondrous insights?

Where? What republicans?

Mark Medina go through the list please...

Faraz Farha - a lot of those quotes are ridiculous, but not one of them says anything about a need to "legalize rape"

So true.......I never stood a chance. Trauma heaped upon trauma. Finally now I have been in a PTSD therapy group, and it is the best thing that's happened to me since I was a little girl. I feel like a new life is possible now, one that could be really joyful. I wish I had been able to participate in such a group when I was younger, but am very grateful for it now. I am very sorry for any/everything that has happened to you.

Karen Haas Susan Layser I wish you both many blessings going forward.

by all the best estimates, 1 in 5 women are raped. Unless a small fraction of men are extraordinarily active, there are more than you think out there raping. Statistically, women know their rapists, this makes your comment even less likely to be true. Most rapes do not go reported. Why? Because of people like you that are police officers, friends, family, officers of the court, jurors, etc... Of those few rapes that get reported, less than 3% are convicted. This does not mean that there are few rapists, only that the system is set up - criminalizing every aspect of the victim down to what she was wearing, doing, thinking, what has she ever worn, done, or thought - in a way that is unlike any other crime. A women who is raped is assumed to be just an unhappy lover. That is the culture of rape you dismiss. "Hysteria"???? When you are raped, come talk to me about your hysteria.

President Obama's statement addressed rape and attempted rape. And because the act of rape has decreased during the last 20 years doesn't make it less abhorrent.

I guess you forgot that those males getting raped are being raped by "men" as well.

I'm a male and I don't feel stigmatized by this campaign. I've seen the affects of rape, abuse, and molestation and it's not pretty. It's not like every case gets reported either. I'm glad rape cases are declining but it would be better if rape stopped all together.

All this time I thought Obama was pro-rape, good thing he came out against it. It really clears things up for the American people.

All what time, Kevin? Perhaps had you been paying closer attention to your own party's hatred of women you'd have a better understanding as to why the President is even addressing this!

Was what he said wrong? Why do you feel the need to step in on this conversation and make light of it? Can't you just let someone be right about something without jumping in and trying to make yourself sound like some expert throwing out numbers that you have no way to back up. Obliviously your numbers are wrong because people are raping. So yes , someone should stand up against it . You show you have no interest in doing so , so why don't you just sit back and let others be heard on this subject. That includes the President.

GOP/Fox News: RAPE IS GODS GIFT TO THE WOMEN AND A PUNISHMENT FOR BEING A SINNER1!1!!1!!!

FOX: "Rape is not always rape. Men are being falsely accused at an alarming rate. If you drink at a party, you deserve to be raped, because good girls aren't supposed to do that."

Diane Lynne ...Unfortunately, I think that is what Fox has said a few times already.
