Morning Briefing: August 22nd, 2012

By Steve Deace

Media Hypocrisy?

While the media continues to have a cow over Congressman Todd Akin, the word is mostly mum on a 56-year old Minnesota lawmaker who in July was caught having sex with a 17-year old minor at a rest stop. Democrat leaders in that state are even calling upon Rep. Kerry Gauthier to step down. Yet this is probably the first time most of you reading this have probably ever heard of this story.

2 Good Perspectives on Akin Controversy

This blog does a good job of defining what the real controversy surrounding Todd Akin is really about within the Republican Party, and that is an attempt by the Republican Party leadership to further marginalize pro-lifers and social conservatives. This blog by Bryan Fischer at the American Family Association puts an even finer point on that, pointing the blame for this controversy on ruling class Republicans where it belongs.

A Pro-Life Warrior in Action

Michigan Attorney Rebecca Kiessling is one of America’s true pro-life warriors. Conceived in rape, Kiessling has become one of the country’s most effective proponents of personhood, or the idea of protecting life from the moment it begins. Last night she appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan program with notorious feminist attorney Gloria Allred to discuss the Akin controversy. If you want to know what a true pro-life warrior in action looks like, read the transcript here. If there’s one good thing to come from Akin’s gaffe, it’s the opportunity it has provided folks like Kiessling to stand for truth.

    Wow, way to go up against Gloria! I agree with Rebecca Kiessling. What is wrong with people? It is NOT the child’s fault that an evil man raped its mother! God intended for that life to be conceived. I am so tired of this subject and the “left” shoving this and gay rights down our throats!

  • Erik Goodale

    Can we get Ms. Kiessling on the show? She mentioned at the start that many people’s opinions of being in favor of abortion due to rape are based on three fallacies but she was only able to touch on one when she was interrupted and then the conversation was not brought back to her point. I would very much like to hear what the other two fallacies are as well as have her finish her thoughts on the first.

    Someone needs to bring her to Des Moines and every other city in America!

    I have to quote and comment on the Piers Morgan transcript (I won’t mention the obvious typos, like Wasserman as a Republican!), “MORGAN: Rebecca Kiessling, let me turn to you because your mother was raped and she gave birth to you. Tell me a little bit about that and why that has formed your view, which is that all abortion is wrong.” Is that a serious question?! He actually gets paid by someone a lot of money to ask such a stupid question?!
