Dear Republicans: If your Platform Committee is going to endorse an “abortion plank that includes no exemptions for rape, incest or even to save the life of the mother,” why bother condemning Todd Akin’s outrageous rape comments?
Were you hoping we wouldn’t notice that your platform is just as misogynous as the guy you’re condemning?
Platitudes And Platforms (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The GOP Platform Committee
Re abortion is lacking in pity
For victims of rape
And of incest: They ape
Akin’s attitude: Irony city!
