The views expressed were offensive. Rape is rape. And the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing what types of rape we are talking about doesn’t make sense to the American people and certainly doesn’t make sense to me. So what I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn’t have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women. —

President Obama in a surprise press conference today, speaking about Todd Akin’s deplorable “legitimate rape” statement.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of how hard I’m voting Obama.
