But let's get back to today's big news, regarding the (some think imaginary) war on women's rights -

Republicans want a constitutional amendment that raped women cannot get abortions.

They want it so badly, they have voted today, and officiallyincluded it in their Official National Republican Party Platform, as a goal to work towards.

Quote:
The National Republican Party, this afternoon in Tampa, just officially approved Todd Akins position on rape as part of the 2012 National Party Platform:

Republicans drafting their party's official policy platform on Tuesday ratified a call for a Constitutional ban on abortion that makes no exceptions for rape or incest.

The vote to endorse the party's long-standing opposition to abortion and support for a "human life amendment" took place at a meeting of the GOP's official platform committee in Tampa, the site of next week's Republican National Convention.
